Transparency is so '08: Why treating data as code & collaboration are the next frontier for open gov

Question: Open government is a great first step, but how can we push towards collaborative government, the world's largest and longest-running open source project

Background

• What differentiates open source from transparency is collaboration: the essential promise that you can see the underlying source code and make things better.
• PDF of excel spreadsheets are technically transparency, but that's really not good enough.
• A central promise of open source is not just to see the process, but participate and be able to modify source
• Nothing -> FOIA -> Open Gov -> (Collaborative Gov?)

Program Slicing

Fixing bugs have diminishing returns. There is a one time cost, barrier to entry, to fixing bugs in dependencies. How do you make it easier to read and understand your dependencies?

Docs are perpetually out of date, source code is never out of date for describing what it does.

This is a brain dump of my experience trying to get something going with Ember.js. My goal was to get to know the ins and outs of the framework by completing a pretty well defined task that I had lots of domain knowledge about. In this case reproducing a simple Yammer feed. As of this time, I have not been able to complete that task. So this is a subjective rundown of the things I think make it difficult to get a handle on Ember. NOTE: My comments are addressing the Ember team and giving suggestions on what they could do to improve the situation.

App setup

The new guides have pretty good explanation of the various parts of the framework; routers, models, templates, views. But it's not clear how they all get strapped together to make something that works. There are snippets of examples all over the place like:

App.Router.map(function() {
  match('/home').to('home');
});

Phoenix 1.4 ships with exciting new features, most notably with HTTP2 support, improved development experience with faster compile times, new error pages, and local SSL certificate generation. Additionally, our channel layer internals receiveced an overhaul, provided better structure and extensibility. We also shipped a new and improved Presence javascript API, as well as Elixir formatter integration for our routing and test DSLs.

This release requires few user-facing changes and should be a fast upgrade for those on Phoenix 1.3.x.
