Re: Group Call Tomorrow

Thanks Bruce.

Bruce is correct, however most Departments in all levels of Government 
in Australia (Victoria being a notable exception) do not publish thiers 
to the public. Most will also mirror the AGIMO guide. It is worth noting 
that this Publishing Guide is currently under review, and so content 
there may be in a fluid state: http://wpgblog.agimo.gov.au/ .

This is not to say that collaboration or contact with relevant areas in 
all levels of Australian Government in this regard won't yield some 
results in obtaining copies of various Web Publishing Guides.

I'd be interested to see how many web publishing guides from the Public 
Sector worldwide are available actually. Will be worth doing some search 
engine trolling.
