TOWARDS GOVERNMENT 2.0: AN ISSUES PAPER [beta - now closed], paragraph 84

Q10: provide specific and practical examples of programmatic recordkeeping when interacting in the cloud; for example, many govt departments use Twitter – it may be considered short-term thinking, but seeding or fostering development of an open-source script-based approach to recordkeeping for this particular service will tease out a number of issues, give smaller organisations like councils the ability to implement a robust piece of software scrutinised by experts, as well as build a foundation for future development in this area. It need not be Twitter, but any online engagement that needs to be captured, like blog or forum posts. The key is that it should be able to be deployed sooner rather than later, so that specifics can be considered, discussed and improved through use.
