### Recovery.gov Drupal Implementation, $18 Million Website Cost

The recovery.gov website is confirmed to be running on the open-source Drupal platform. Critics question the $18 million price tag for a site built with free software, comparing it to the much lower costs of government websites in Germany. The development team defends the choice, stating Drupal allowed for rapid deployment and future scalability for dynamic data.

### Smartronix Contract Redactions, Federal Reporting Transparency

- **Episode:** [119: Small Steps Toward Better Health](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/119-small-steps-toward-better-health.md)
- **Published:** 2009-08-06
- **Time:** 25:54–29:19
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/119-small-steps-toward-better-health/chapter/smartronix-contract-redactions-federal-reporting-transparency.md

Documentation regarding the $18 million contract awarded to Smartronix for the recovery.gov redesign contains heavy redactions, allegedly to protect competitive business information. Critics argue that the deliverables, including RSS feeds and data mashups, do not justify the multi-million dollar price tag, especially since the government provides the hosting infrastructure.
