Guys, sorry I'm reacting late due to several issues. All good points. Just for the benefit of the people new to the group, there are a few "own" resources you might want to review (if you haven't done so yet) (I hope I didn't send them already, apologies if so) * "Social Media in eGovernment" http://www.w3.org/2008/09/msnws/papers/egov-social-ws this is the paper the Chairs submitted on behalf of the group for the W3C workshop on the future of social media: http://www.w3.org/2008/09/msnws/ * "Participation and Engagement" section of the "Improving" Group Note http://www.w3.org/TR/egov-improving/#pe * Some IG's presence in social media http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/wiki/Social_Media_Group * W3C Social Web Incubator Group http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/ we have a liaison with this group, and we should explore further collaboration possibilities. I think both groups could complement each other well and we could bring the eGov POV to their work and vice-versa. Cheers, Jose.
