GOWM: Bits for The Government Office for the West Midlands
"RSS in Government News about how RSS is being used by international, federal, state, and local governments"
As
usual the UK Gov't haven't a clue. Why, oh why are we so behind?
Answer: most of the UK Gov't leaders are technophobes. At least in my
experience. And in others too.
It's no good to say I can use email therefore I am a technophile.
When it is derogatory to call some one a techie it's vital we do
something to get more techies into positions of authority and power.
The culture and approach to IT in UK Government is risk adverse,
and prefers to delay decisions thinking that the tortoise rather than
the hare will win.
RSS is a tiny, tiny expense much like many of the IT solutions out
there, yet it is the big, big plans and applications that are usually a
waste of money which receive all the glory.
The e-envoy, Andrew Pindar: "Three-quarters of the population have never visited a government website at all." Because they're dull and lack personality? Where are the guides?
