Also, I've just started to edit the document online, noting where some issues are and updatind some text according to discussions. You can track changes with any HTML diff tool. Original doc: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-egov-improving-20090310/ Current draft: http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/Group/docs/note W3C has one available at: http://www.w3.org/2007/10/htmldiff although it seems it has some issues at the tail end of the doc Cheers, Jose.
