I just hope that the projects that are created are generalizable across municipalities instead of being geared to just one city. Every time I see these open government projects they also come across as very city specific.

Not sure I can agree. Different cities have different needs and while it would be cool to have a unified platform to provide everything uniformly, you'd still end up with a lot of different approaches everywhere.

I've found that the City-specific projects are the ones that usually end up being successful. Cities are complicated, and while there are things that every city does (collect taxes, handle zoning, have a police department, etc) every city does it slightly differently. By deploying in one city and treating it like a prototype, you can quickly find out what works and what doesn't and THEN scale up. You need to solve one person's problem before you can solve everyone's.
