Hi all
I hoped to go along to last Thursday's Cafe Zest to ask this Q, but
failed (again!) to escape the desk.
Just a quick bit of benchmarking. The stats professionals here at
Communities and Local Government tell us that ONS now require all
stats publications and releases to be distanced from the corporate
website and any ministerial content, and to be gathered in one place.
(Nice of ONS to tell us themselves...)
How are other Departments planning to meet this? We are fulfilling the
1 April deadline by creating dummy pages directing users to the actual
content where it currently resides, but are considering our options
for a better solution, such as hiving stats off into a separate
microsite/subdomain.
If you have people looking into this within your teams can you let me
have some names and numbers so we can swap ideas?
Cheers
Neil

What do you mean 'distanced from the corporate website?' Sounds like
its cross purposes to website rationalistion? We've heard nothing,
and even if I did I would tell them to get lost. Do you know what
their reasoning is? We're always getting 'told' by someone else to
create new sites or standalone sections for things of little interest
to anyone but the originators. The answer is invariably the same - we
publish for our users not them.

Re: the Thursday tea things, not planning to change these yet, but
there is plenty of space for other kinds of events that will probably
see light of day shortly. But there's also space for anyone to
suggest/organise any other kind of event on any other day.

You haven't heard of it? Curiouser and curiouser. I will dig about a
bit more and see where this is really coming from, and how much
thought they've given (if any!) to rationalisation and consistency
across govt. Perhaps it's just chinese whispers from our stats lot.
...It's worth govt webteams joining up more :)
