They are not going to publish anything that would be an at risk disclosure.</div><div><br></div><div>I see this is just drum beating to ensure that there is no rolling back in these areas.</div><div><br></div><div>Having said that - I have seen deliberate abuse of this - where parties label non-sensitive items - to prevent access / criticism of the content involved - and/or to continue funding of pet projects that are clearly worthless - or have public open solutions already in place - but we're paying to make a poor substitute government one.</div><div><br></div><div>Worse - duplicate efforts in different government areas are essentially building the same thing. The GAO should be all over this - but again - lack of transparency and correct labelling of purpose - prevents correlation - and cross-pollenization. </div><div><br></div><div>Ironically there is probably a need for such government open source and internal sharing more than public!!!<br></div><div><br></div><div>David<br></div><div><br></div>
