NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) Releases Open Government Plan for 2012-2014

From the NARAtions Blog:

On Friday, the National Archives released the updated Open Government Plan that will guide our efforts in transparency, participation, and collaboration for 2012-2014.
Within our newly updated plan, you will see the specific items we plan to work on over the next two years, including:

• Strengthen our culture of open government by revisiting the strategic planning process;
• Improve employee engagement, including launching an agency-wide mentoring program;
• Improve internal collaboration and knowledge sharing through the use of our internal collaboration network;
• Strengthen our relationships with individual citizen archivists and groups, while exploring new crowdsourcing tools;
• Move Archives.gov to the cloud, implement a content management system and launch a web page for developers
• Establish a new Records and Information Management Network to support our internal records management;
• Issue a Records Management Directive outlining a 21st century framework for managing government records;
• Process backlog records related to the Katyn Atrocities, POW/MIA concerns, and the Cuban Missile Crisis; and
• Work with the General Printing Office to develop a mobile app for the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents.
