Describing and tracking stimulus projects totaling $787,000,000,000 on the internet: any ideas?

From Recovery.gov, a federal government website tracking the stimulus projects:

“RECOVERY ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY BOARD

The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board was created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to coordinate and
conduct oversight of funds distributed under this law in order to prevent fraud, waste and abuse. The Board includes a Chairman,
Earl E. Devaney, appointed by the President, and ten Inspectors General specified by the Act. The Board has a series of functions and
powers to assist it in the mission of providing oversight and promoting transparency regarding expenditure of funds at all levels of
government. Quarterly and annual reports on the use of Recovery Act funds and any oversight matters will be issued as part of the
Board’s work. The Board may also make recommendations to agencies on measures to avoid problems and prevent fraud, waste and
abuse. To address issues quickly, the Board may send flash reports to the President and Congress on potential management and
funding problems that require immediate attention. The Board is also charged under the Act with establishing and maintaining a
user friendly website, Recovery.gov, to foster greater accountability and transparency in the use of covered funds.

The job of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board is to make sure that Recovery.gov fulfills its mandate — to help
citizens track the spending of funds allocated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The Board consists of Inspectors General from about ten major cabinet agencies — including the Departments of Justice, Treasury,
and Commerce.”

This is an extraordinary and noble effort at improving the accountability and transparency of government funding.

I met with the Chair of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board and the director of Recovery.com a few days ago in
Washington, DC to discuss their work. These discussions may continue and I would appreciate any ideas about this project and its
website. (I’m already aware of the pie charts on their frontpage!)

With regard to my own accountability and transparency, I expect to provide some advice to the Recovery Accountability and Transparency
Board. My on-going policy for worthy government work (e.g., Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, NASA, etc.) is that the work is pro bono. Any changes to this policy will be posted in this
thread.

Thanks, ET
