+  what: |
+    Following the 2008-era financial collapse, the US Congress created the
+    Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and charged the agency with central
+    authority over a swath of previously disparate regulations. Recognizing
+    the opaque nature of these regulations and having the desire to iterate on
+    them rapidly, the bureau's regulatory team began contemplating tools to
+    aid their work.
+
+    In a similar time-frame, the bureau was also sketching out a technology
+    and innovation fellowship, in which graphic designers, software
+    developers, and user experience professionals would be brought in to the
+    bureau for a two-year stint. Technology projects to address regulatory
+    needs quickly rose towards the top of this list. To prepare, the
+    regulatory team met with the bureau's technologists and mapped out phases
+    around displaying regulations, connecting them to relevant documents,
+    following their history, allowing the public to comment, and tools to
+    improve the authoring experience.

 [CFPB released its initial version of eRegulations in 2013](http://www.consumerfinance.gov/blog/making-regulations-easier-to-use/), and [18F and ATF began reusing it for ATF in 2015](https://18f.gsa.gov/2015/12/09/an-open-source-government-is-a-faster-more-efficient-government/).

 A few news clippings that also discuss motivations for eRegulations:
 
 * [Federal Source Code Policy: Achieving Efficiency, Transparency, and Innovation through Reusable and Open Source Software](https://policy.cio.gov/source-code/), August 2016, The White House: “18F and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): Both of these organizations have policies that establish a default position to publish source code that is custom-developed by or for the organization. For example, both organizations contribute to the source code for the eRegulations platform, a web-based interface for public viewing and commenting on proposed changes to Federal regulations. The eRegulations platform, which originated at CFPB, is being used by other Federal agencies and continues to be improved based on public feedback;”
