| Openness is a much-misunderstood word; a kind of good-will moniker to which
| people attach an impressive variety of definitions; open source code, open
| standards, open handsets, openness as in transparency, shared roadmaps, open
| APIs, open route to marketâ Itâs a very forgiving term as far as definitions
| go.

Open or Closed? Report
,----[ Quote ]
| With the current economic downturn placing public finances under significant
| pressure, local authorities need to prepare for a more challenging future.
| In a climate of increasing budget constraints, councils are now facing
| inescapable demands to develop new and innovative ways to transform services,
| generate cashable efficiencies and deliver more for less. At the same time,
| local government IT costs are rising: In January this year, Socitm (the
| professional association for public ICT management) reported ICT spending by
| UK local authorities would soar by 5% in 2008/09, reaching a record level of
| Â3.2 billion of expenditure. These developments underline the need for
| councils to drive more value from their IT investments.

| Despite Wikipedia's occasional inaccuracies, it has grown up to be a useful

| I have decided most critics of Wikipedia miss the point.
|
| They focus on the wiki aspect, the idea that many contributors can offer
| their input, and the chance that some of that input is wrong.
