Transparency — You've asked, and we've answered. The Hatch welcomes stages, where you can track the status of ideas as they progress toward implementation. The more the crowd engages with others on the Hatch, the better chance ideas have of advancing.
Communities and Disciplines — On the homepage of the Hatch, you can now click on #HATCHTAGS associated with specific Warfighting Communities and Disciplines, which will take you directly to ideas that interest you.
Mobile Application — If you haven't tried it out, you should! The Hatch has a mobile application that allows you to vote and comment on any ideas in the Hatch. Search for "IdeaScale" in your iOS or Android app store! Don't wait; join the conversation now!
Submit your own ideas through crowdsourcing. Go straight to the ideas that interest you using #HATCHTAGS!
