Comment on (Encore Jukesie) – or “three thoughts about Betagov and the wider public sector” by Jukesie

I think Stephen is right with the ‘do better with less’ comment – that is the challenge but also like you said it probably does mean doing less for a lot of organisations. I was impressed with the decision of the Dep of Health to massively simplify their web offering and think they are onto something.

Also I do think the continuing open conversations about all the issues are great and seem unlikely to stop but it would be nice to see something take place away from walking distance of Victoria St occassionally and if that happened to be West all the better!

For me, the artbus to do better with less, rather than more with less. It is all about doing fewer things well, rather than many things badly…. But this also means some very difficult choices

@Adrian sure – what do you fancy? GPL? CC? ‘Public domain’ apparently isn’t a valid licensing term

open-source projects attract the kind of developers who by nature abhor much of what government stands for. They generally loathe bureaucracy, hieararchy, risk-aversion, centralised planning and compliance with rules they don’t respect.

I should add that to my “Hire Me” page. Can you openly licence the text please?

Comment on Opening up the Citizen Space consultation Aggregator by Andy

@Chris – yes the thinking is something like:
citizenspace.com/uk
citizenspace.com/australia

etc

Which seems straightforward. However we’re trying to Do This Right with respect to #linkeddata etc.

We need some discussion with #linkeddata people about best ways to design URLs. We’ve found Jeni Tennison’s post about URL design via http://data.gov.uk, but we need to know a little more. Expect forthcoming blog / tweeter discussion on this…

The aim is as much to syndicate as aggregate – we’re not trying to replicate Direct.gov, rather make a useful resource for others to build on – so we need to get the linked data aspects right

Awesome post thanks Jess – maybe we should turn CitizenSpace.com into the aggregator – and make it a national / global consultation hub, glued together by RSS and RDFA???
