A project of the Sunlight Foundation, the Open House Project is
a collaborative and bipartisan effort on open government. The
purpose of the project is to study how the House of Representatives
currently integrates the Internet into its operations, and to make
public recommendations to its leadership on how to make the House
of Representatives' work more available to citizens on the
Web.
With the help of former congressional staffers, technology experts
and public policy officials in Washington, the Open House Project
produced a report with specific recommendations for the House of
Representatives to implement. They vary from giving citizen
journalists credentials to cover Congress and making video of
congressional activities more publicly available to putting more
information online and accessible to American citizens.
