Thanks Paolo, I know the project and it is interesting indeed.
The report does not aim to list all relevant projects! there are many initiatives for this, we also have a project which already listed 100 cases. Why dont you subscribe to http://www.epractice.eu/community/pubserv20

David, I found a lack on your report an Web 2.0 in Egov.
The site http://www.openpolis.it is not mentioned, but if it is a great service for italian citizens and a good example at European level too.
It’s catetegory is the same of http://www.theyworkforyou.com, but quite different. Look at it.
This is an other “encouraging sign” from Italy, even if it is promoted by a non-profit organisation, not by a public body.

Well written, Paolo. I agree. I’ll put Spinea on my radar, for what it’s worth.

David, you are a very quick blogger! Right for blogs, very strange in governments!
I know we are rather negative here in Italy, about e-government. Disillusion is dominating now. But everything changes in the world we are living in, you know.
You are right: there are sound situations we can count on. Spinea is just 1 case. Hundreds of innovators are anxious to listen to segnals of change.
Come on, let’s play our role.
A common standard for feedback/ratings on public services?
I don’t know. But let’s start from something solid. Let’s search and give visibility to projects like Spinea. Let’s allow other aministrations to re-use that solution.
