Hi all,
The W3C eGoverment Interest Group (http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/) is working on several topics being one of them the use of social media in government. The Chairs have recently authored a paper (http://www.w3.org/2008/09/msnws/papers/egov-social-ws), were we review discussion we had in the Group so far, for the upcoming W3C Workshop on the Future of Social Networking (http://www.w3.org/2008/09/msnws/).
The Group is open to the publc and is compiling use cases to show main issues on a number of topics, including this one and Open Government Data among others. We are already drafting an issues document that we plan to publish mid year with an early draft coming out around February.
As you can see there, we are focusing a bit more on the technical aspects and are interested in input. If you have anything to say, please do join the Group or participate in the mailing list; see http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/participation or email me. We cannot try to fix something if we don't know it's broken, and you help on indentifying it would be very welcome.
ps: thanks to David, Silvain and the others involved in the project for starting this community.
