[open-government] NYC Apps Ideas

Yeah, it's done by ChallengePost. I can put you in touch with Brenden
Kessler at ChallengePost if you'd like.

There were also some earlier less attractive idea lists, but they weren't
really sustained or marketed.

NYC is experimenting with a number of ideation platforms at the moment, some
of which have yet to launch. There's also a system using Spigot called NYC
Simplicity Ideas Market:

And another one using a new platform by Local Projects (who did "Give a
Minute") called Change By Us: http://nyc.changeby.us/beta

NYC is also leading the charge with an extension to the Open311 spec to
include requests for information (the primary function of 311 systems) with
the Open311 Inquiry API: http://wiki.open311.org/Inquiry_v1

When that evolves to become publicly read/write like the Open311 GeoReport
API it should provide an open standard for such kinds of ideation or Q&A
platforms.

Cheers,
Phil
