I am an e-participation geek*, and I have a great hopes for what is possible in the future with change.gov.

I have lots of questions about the Web tools and the team behind it. Here are just a few:

• What is the vision of change.gov? Where is it headed?
• What are the metrics for success at change.gov?
• Where does the change.gov team fit into the transition team’s power structure?
• After the inauguration, what happens to change.gov?
• Does the team have in-depth debates about what wisdom of the crowds really means?
• Do team members think that designing civic participation is a key part of their job?
• Do people in the group disagree as to what kind of ranking systems are best?
• How many team members roll their eyes when they hear “Web 2.0″?
• Has the team tried to quantify what it means for “the best ideas rise to the top?”
• Are there people on the team that are passionate about civic participation?
• What particular civic engagement technologies inspire the team?
• What first-hand civic engagement experiences inspire the team?

What questions do you have?

* For example, I’ve attended and sponsored eDemocracy Camp 2008, presented at Online Deliberation 2005, and helped a teammate pitch a project at the “Constitutional Convention: Building Democracy 2.0″ conference.
