The thing that disturbs me is that you can submit ideas now, but the rules will not be posted till April 5th, 2012. Depending on the rules, a developer might have a full forfeiture of their idea. But I need to be careful since there is no evidence of that yet. I am just looking back on the scam of a contest Obama ran against artists.
Another disturbing aspect is the government has programmers that could write apps. Maybe this is a cheap way to get many apps for the price of a single software developer. If the rules are like the Obama artist contest, they might even be able to use apps that do not win. Maybe the prices are in $100 increments and they are "buying" 1000 apps this way.
We'll know in 2 days when the rules are posted. Right now I am just speculating.
Well over an hour ago I did submit an email address to get updates on the contest. As of yet I have not received a "Welcome" email. Hmmmm...
