It complements their overall Open Government Initiative that not only invites citizens to voice their opinions/concerns in a participatory manner, but also aims to increase government transparency and accountability. I saw Tim O'Reilly and Beth Noveck (Deputy CTO for Open Gov Initiative) speak on different Gov 2.0 panels in DC this summer and they both expressed optimism about working toward "collaborative governance" - or, as O'Reilly calls it, "government as a platform" to connect solutions to problems and citizens to data/policies.
