May 2008 Update

This month we have finally manage to start using our wiki facility where we have launched a project on defining Government 2.0. Do have a look at the debate and create an account on the wiki so that you can contribute to it. This is an experiment from our point of view and if you have feedback or other ideas on how we might use the wiki facility, please make your views heard via the Feedback Forum. Otherwise, we have well and truly smashed the 100 barrier in terms of registered members (107 members and counting). So the community is there (particularly given that quite a lot of people are lurking invisibly!) and we are getting some interesting and very well-informed responses in a wide range of areas. Finally, after 35 posts we have had no choice but to accept the inevitable and make Jeff Frazier our contributor of the month. Well done, Jeff, keep it up.
