(10) Writings: Please list and, if readily available, provide a copy of each book, article, column or publication (including but not limited to any posts or comments on blogs or other websites) you have authored, individually or with others. Please list all aliases or “handles” you have used to communicate on the Internet.
They want all comments you posted on the intertubes – that’s insane!

you dont understand what they are doing
they are going to make government open source, user generated, wiki-enabled and open to commenting

And the latter has nothing directly to do with the former. The former is from a questionnaire for federal government employees.

It has nothing directly to do with “government 2.0.”
