Change.gov, the transition site, has moved its content to a Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution license. So, anyone can use it so long as they attribute it back to its source. Very cool.
Open content is, of course, a creativity magnet. Already, apps have sprung up that let you get Change.gov content on your iPhone and as a widget elsewhere.
A government whose first instinct is toward openness! What a difference a mere 69 million votes can make!
Next: Putting government under revision control, as Tim O’Reilly advocates.
