The government should have done it in-house, using directly hired citizens as developers and project managers. Use top developers that fully understand the selected technology. This site is something that will be changing a lot over many years, so continued staff where most developers already know how it's built would keep it upgraded.
IMHO, the whole Email thing is past its time. Letting just anyone send means spammers will. When people ask me for my email, I now give out a website where they can set me a message... after they login. But I don't give them an access name/password unless they ask for one (and no one knows to do that).
Change the law to limit the number of H-1B visas that a company may sponsor to not more than 10% of their worker base in the same field (e.g. percentage is applied to each type of job). Then limit the B-1 visas to a maximum of 63 days within the past 365 days (plus 2 travel days for each entry/exit). And while at it, allow any H-1B holder (the person) to change employer when they or the employer is willing to pay all the visa costs to the sponsor that paid them.
And that includes a certain person that taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law school from 1992 to 2004. They understand the US Constitution. They just don't want to follow it.
I have set up my DNS to block lots of places that have abusive ads (like Flash, animated GIF, etc). It seems that once I did that, almost all the other ad places disappeared, too. But if a web site hosts their own ads for themselves, they can get through (hint to Slashdot admins).
You cannot have cyber security by having some software (or hardware) around to just do it for you. Real security is about HOW you do everything else. It appears someone thinks all security exploits are just badly implemented API calls?
Use in-house employees instead. Hire well-qualified experienced employees, paid well (considering the costs of living in DC if they are not working from remote).
I also blame the fact that these 55 contractors were businesses. They should be experienced developers. And 55 is too many even so. The web site could be done with 20.
The method I have proposed to fix this is "cycle trading". Traders submit their buy/sell requests for a trade cycle that happens every minute. Each cycle's trades go to completion if possible, based on buy/sell amounts and prices (bid/ask). Requests will be left over if they cannot be bought or sold in that cycle. They can be flagged to hang in there for the next cycle, or canceled, or changed.
But instead of a one minute cycle, let's do a one day cycle.

Demand that further payments using taxpayer money not be made to CGI.
I'd rather have the calendaring separate, either as its own app, or a web page service (ala, Jira, Trac, etc).
It's there as a high barrier of entry. Email is too low.
Many people contact me. It's not by email. It's also not by Facebook walls.

Was it actually "INSTALLED in a vehicle" ?
So many problems will be addressed by that.

The party that wants government to fail knows how to make government fail.

This advice does not apply to Tor sites run by the NSA.
I'm a Python programmer, not a Ruby programmer, you insensitive clod. And what about my Java programmer friends?
Greed ... like government officials and one percenters in every country. The US is pissed because the gambling is competition of lotteries.

Or being smart enough to install Linux is being smart enough to exploit Aaron's.

Can a rented PC install Linux? Or have they modified it to keep its insecure spyware?

They will never get it right. That's how they keep the dump trucks coming in.
Sounds like a security hole to me.
