Project Proposals for Hack4Congress-DC
Everyone knows the U.S. Congress could work better.  So on April 30 and May 1, we're doing something about it at Hack4Congress-DC.  The 2-day hackathon will bring together Members of Congress and staff, citizens and civic technologists, data scientists and designers around one goal: making America's legislature more efficient, effective, and open.

We need your help identifying the most pressing problems, so that Hack4Congress works on the right ones.  If you work in Congress, what are your daily technology and information headaches?  What are the bottlenecks, barriers and baffling challenges you face every day?  What do you WISH you had to do your job better?  Sky is the limit.  Go deep and detailed.  Share as many as you want.

If you work with Congress from the outside, what are your headaches and frustrations?  What do you wish you could do or access that you cannot?  What do you WISH you had to make your life easier? Sky is the limit.  Go deep and detailed.  Share as many as you want.
