Some ideas ....

• Host projects that are useful for cross-government adoption, e.g. web design standards.
• Serve as a GitHub organization of last-resort for those at agencies without an organization and who can't create one.
• A help-wanted bulletin board for government websites (e.g. create a repo with no files and just an issue tracker where any fed can post asking for/offering help).
• A lists of resources repo, where people can create lists of resources
• A playground repo, open for general playing around.
• A labs repo for light, one page experiments.
• A '.gov issue tracker' where we create a place where anyone can report a problem with a federal website when they don't know how else to report a problem.

I definitely like the idea of a help-wanted bulletin board. As something like a stackoverflow/quora for u.s. govtech. I also like the idea of a labs repo — as there are definitely folks who've done work like this in personal repos just because it wasn't work that fit within their org's work and guidelines. Those projects are effectively lost.
