Being a web producer/content wrangler for government websites, I understand that internal forces often present challenges, at times obstacles, for website and other media owners who are tying to provide useful government information to the public. The more we discuss the topic and explore the limits of government web policy and practices, the closer we will come to creating better communication channels between the government and its constituents.

I think we have quite a few .gov developers at SXSW. This should spark with them.
