I am excited to hear your the plans to tap into the collective intelligence of the nation (and possibly the world).
My rational mind has trouble grasping that from the diversity of the crowds and wisdom of collectives, come brilliance beyond belief. However, my life experiences both professionally and personally, continues to validate the power of the collective.
To that end - I recently ran across a company - BRIGHTIDEA (www.brightidea.com). I am investigating collective intelligence and collaboration tools. This one struck me to have covered some powerful components needed to open up idea generation to the public, with visibility, prioritization, and management.
You and your team may want to check them out if you have not already.
