This is indeed a fascinating list... I noticed, predictably, that the
private initiatives were doing things that were more immediate and
smaller scale, while the governmental initiatives were attacking the
larger more theoretical or long term issues. Of all the government
programs, the interface between humans and computers at 18.5 million
seemed like the most interesting (and amongst the smallest government
programs)...

The Gates foundation particularly seems to be doing interesting work.
