Comments on: First Global Portal for Social Change Set For Launch http://www.headstar.com/egblive/?p=278 This blog complements E-Government Bulletin, an email newsletter on the use of digital technologies to enhance public services & democracy Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:21:47 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Andrew Hart http://www.headstar.com/egblive/?p=278&cpage=1#comment-5658 Andrew Hart Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:20:40 +0000 http://www.headstar.com/egblive/?p=278#comment-5658 It's great to see the Web being used to promote such an ethical project. This is something I'm very much in favor of and will be following the progress with interest. Lets just hope that accessibility is built into the specification for the website to begin with this time...post-launch repairs to various major Government initiative websites coming out of the US lately have been swift but unnecessary if they had been planned properly. This also sounds very "Web 2.0" so it could also be a global landmark for accessibility in that area. It’s great to see the Web being used to promote such an ethical project.

Scaling up the facilitation of positive social action on a global scale is long over due. Add to that open-source, user-generated content and we are witnessing a widening and deepening of democratic engagement. Hope I can be involved in some way. Plus, great branding with 'online Peace Corps'! I look forward to the launch next month. Wow, What an exciting project!
