two points:
1. How much money has been wasted on this and other national projects? Is
anyone other than Public Sector Forums paying attention?
2. This just highlights for me the absence of any national central point of
reference for egov. It's splintered all over the place, so no one actually
working in the area has 'heard of' most of the worthy stuff.
We need an intro point as well as one for researchers - ICELE at least tried to
be the former with its introductions.
It just pains me that the Australian state of Victoria and other governments
like Hong Kong and New Zealand have managed 'one stop shop' portals to egov for
practitioners but all Downing St has led with is endless, endless different
initiatives with different websites whilst at the same time preaching to the
rest of us about 'just' directgov and businesslink.
We've got truly bad leadership on egov in the country and I'd hope us
practitioners could say that with a collective voice rather than 'well, on the
other hand ... '
