Hello there! I'm the product manager on the 18F side of this project. Happy to answer any questions folks have about it.

Can i just say Thank You. As a software developer and US citizen, I am immensely grateful for the work that 18F and the USDS are doing for this country's digital infrastructure.

Are you going to make this/all open source? The work you are doing is so cool,that it probably can be used in other countries like India (which is already signing up for FOSS ijne-governance in a big way)

Nice work by you and your team so far Leah! Quick question - what's the rationale behind having the two "Page TBD" top links in the nav? Is that to make sure the CSS/design works using placeholders or do you keep them knowing there are groups within the FEC that will definitely need 2 spots on the nav bar?

Thanks! It's a much simpler reason than that, I'm afraid. It's a reference to the fact that this isn't a comprehensive beta of the FEC site, but a beta of a few parts of the upcoming new FEC site. We're moving more beta functionality and content over in the future.

They're on there - they just aren't popular enough to rank. Some DHS services are there (like USCIS).

Everything we do at 18F is open source, usually as public domain. Interested in working on this stuff? Come work with us: https://18f.gsa.gov/2015/02/25/We-Are-Hiring/

what's the difference between 18F and USDS? i applied to USDS and never got a reply.

Here's an article that describes the difference:

So did I, months ago. No reply.
