Well, I think you've hit the nail on the head yourself, Steve, it is
about both. The review is about both traditional public sector
information questions, like what's valuable and how it should be
accessed, plus the newer ones of how people use online communities to
fix things in their own lives.
Where the overlaps between the two halves happen is interesting, too.
