Our Ideas section is a place for everyone to submit innovative ideas for development of an app, widget or mashup that makes use of crowd-sourcing or government data. Ideas submitted should have something to do with government.
These ideas may be discussed by Directgov | innovate site users and may even be developed into working apps by the more industrious participants.
We reserve the right to edit any text submitted and will not publish ideas that are not relevant to the subject matter of this site.
