Jerry Brito is one of the brightest thinkers in the transparency world. One of the key insights he promotes is that, in the Internet world, it is no longer the government that is the primary definer of context. Of course it never has been in a free society, but the fact is that controlling information, as “experts” necessarily do, along with data custodians, has been a block on citizen participation.

This need be true no longer with the Internet. Brito has put together a wiki, dedicated to the “stimulus,” StimulusWatch.org. This is the good stuff.
