Technology ideas for Congress?

The Congressional Hackathon is three weeks away. In anticipation, I’m gathering ideas from congressional staff and the public on what tools and apps should be available inside the Legislative branch.

What is your genius idea? Should there be a tool that allows staff to automatically schedule meetings with outside groups at free times on their calendar? An app that automatically summarizes written witness testimony and the committee memo into a two-page doc that includes draft member questions? A tracker that shows how busy each cafeteria is? Or collates all QFRs that relate to an agency?

Submit your ideas here and tell your friends. 🙂 I’ll highlight some of the ideas in the First Branch Forecast newsletter and at the Hackathon. Thanks!
