    I used to work as a government contractor and can attest that the contracting industry as a whole is fleecing the federal government for millions and millions of dollars each year. A vast majority of contractors and federally employed IT workers are incompetent and should be replaced by skilled workers. One talented employee could easily replace three or more federal employees or contractors.

    Ruby on Rails? I believe the correct spelling is Django. :) Seriously though, it is never good to mandate certain technologies from the top down. The best technology should be chosen to solve a particular task; mandating Ruby on Rails is no better than mandating .NET and Oracle across an enterprise.

    Mandate open protocols, don't pre-select technology.
