Research and evaluation in Government 2.0
1. Summarise the use of
- 1. Wiki drafts of papers for public discussion and
- 2. Twitter in Government.
Wikis appear to be a favoured way of creating some documents where public discussion is to be included. On the Public Sphere2 site. http://wiki.katelundy.com.au/PublicSphere2 an outline is given of the steps that were undertaken to create a collaborative document on - Government 2.0: Policy and Practice - which would ultimately be given to the Gov2.0 taskforce when it was completed. Use of a wiki was central to this process, enabling people from throughout the Australian general public to have their say about the topic by adding to the wiki file. This has also been the process for Public Sphere3 and other Government bodies are embracing the idea of public forum set up in this way with a view to decision making being collaborative with and transparent to the general public.
Twitter also seems to be gathering momentum for use in such forums. Both the Public Sphere reports mentioned above and passed on the Gov2.0 taskforce included documentation of twitter feeds in which members of the government and public added comments and information to the discussion taking place. On all the Gov2.0 sites are icons for twitter encouraging people to follow the government on it.
Last week(19th October) the Gov2.0 conference was held in Canberra and centred around the use of Web 2.0 tools within government. Extracts below were taken from PDF documents downloaded from the conference site and demonstrate the huge emphasis that the Rudd government is placing on the use of Web2.0 tools within government departments.
How can Wikis help Government?
- Provides a space for public discussion and collaboration
- Promotes citizen engagement with government
- Generates rich, useful information via crowd sourcing
- Gives citizens a voice and a sense of ownership
- Promotes open government
- - Wikis for government PDF - downloaded from http://www.gov2.com.au
What does it (Twitter) mean for me?
If used effectively, Twitter can support your communication goals. In particular you can -
- initiate an instant conversation with the public
- receive instant suggestions and genuine opinions
- send out your messages and inform the community about your projects and work
- listen to others and show your commitment to be citizen-centric
- monitor your brand and the public interest on specific matters
- - Twitter for government PDF - downloaded from http://www.gov2.com.au
2. Did you see yourself as a supporter of Government 2.0? If so how did you benefit? If not then explain why.
Consider the Gov 2.0 taskforce site at http://gov2.net.au/ and the conference at http://www.gov2.com.au/
I fear I must have had my head in a bucket of sand - because, until I began working on this topic, I had really no idea what was going on in the realm of Gov2.0. Although I was aware of the task force and the inquiry which has been going on I have been trying to recall the mention of the collaboration site for the Public Sphere and the Gov2.0 conference site. If I had been aware, I would certainly have sourced the sites to look at and keep up-to-date with what has been going on. I think I might even have joined in following the conference day and what was happening. I have now added myself as a follower on twitter and subscribed to an RSS feed for the taskforce site, so I am hoping to stay MUCH better informed. I am wondering how many other people are unaware of all of the information gathering and interaction happening within this area?
