What should be done is have the government hire programmers so they put together software that meets government needs and provide it for free to others who will need it. And in so doing get automatic peer review from the thousands of programmers around the world. and also provide "vital infrastructure" to our economy.
The Government is _NOT_ a software development firm, and its function is to protect the sovereignity of the country and its constituents, and provide the basic services required by the same constituency that it serves. The government is not mandated to create software for its own needs -- that's why we have a public bidding process, and a system in place for third party contractors to come in and help government out to deliver the services that the constituency needs through making software. -- Dean Michael C.
