From the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board:

During the week of April 27th to May 3rd, 22,000 visitors from 50 states and 98 foreign countries, from Fortune 500 companies and small businesses, web designers and financial services experts, internet novices and the creators of the WWW and Web 2.0 all went online to participate in the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board's National Dialogue. The purpose was to solicit ideas and suggestions on how to build recovery.gov into the preeminent site where the public can monitor and track the spending of recovery funds.

The feedback provided the Recovery Board with comprehensive and actionable ideas, priorities, and key themes, as well as a knowledgeable community who can be engaged repeatedly as recovery.gov grows and changes. Some of the top ideas that were suggested include geographical mapping, XML formats, and linked open data; among the overarching themes were information syntax and collaboration.
