The aim of this site is to showcase government web2.0 sites, but in this case I will make an exception because the 2020 Summit community site shows what can be done quickly and on a nonexistent budget.

On Monday morning there was a conversation on twitter between Laurel Papworth and Stephen Collins about the need to get people who understand the web into the 1000 attendees at the 2020 Summit. Within an hour 2020summit.org was created by Stephen and live.

Even if you are not interested in the 2020 Summit (and you should be), it is interesting to watch the web site evolve and see how the talented people behind the site engage the community. A lesson for anybody interested in building a site to engage a community.
