Expand Idea Competition to Department Level

The government lacks a global employee directory. More importantly, without one we struggle to find peers with certain experience or expertise for peer review or committee work, which an optional Facebook-like site accessible just to Feds might resolve. Initial content could come from Fed resumes on USAjobs.gov marked "searchable." This would not only save much time but would help break stove pipes.
Instead of spending massive amounts of money for high end teleconference systems the govt should use webcams when possible. For example my workplace pays for thousands of Tandberg licenses and very expensive VTC equipment instead of allowing us to use a 10 dollar webcam. We already have social network programs installed on the network which allows for webcam collaboration.

DOE lacks a document management system that would facilitate collaboration and approval routings across the entire Department. Such a system would save much time expended individually routing documents and soliciting feedback. The right system could replace RevCom, the antiquated directives review system. This would hasten reviews and responses to comments.
