This is probably made easier by the discussion being structured and driven by specific areas of improvement, and by the fact that this is a two-month rather than one-week consultation (like it was for Recovery.gov). This also helps providing an easier tracking between suggestions and actual implementation and keeping down the cost of the whole process, a problem I raised in a previous post.

My argument is that technology costs are lower. However peertopatent.org provides a good example of crowdsourcing also the filtering of ideas. It's a question of DESIGN, which is arguably the most important task of web2.0 projects. Andrea, thanks for the nice words.
