Wave to the rescue in EU

[walt diechmann]

With the EU Parliament poll coming up in a few days, I reckon that
Google Wave might just be what the doctor ordered to the EU
Parliament!

Consider this: an italian MEP making the first draft to a new bill in
Wave and adding all 500+ MEP's Over the course of the next 1-2 days
MEP's chip in - redesigns, rewrites, etc - and in a blink of a second,
measured by the time drafting bills in the EP durates today, the bill
is ready!!

Or consider this: with out the need to go to Bruxelles or whereever
the EP will meet, now using Wave to keep all 500+ EP's on track and
actively taking part in the legislative process (and documenting their
participation at the same time)!!

With Spelly thrown into the equation, I'd say that you could "retrain"
the 500+ EP's to work in an entire new way in perhaps 2-3 months (die
hard cases could be asked to retire themselves)!!

Google Wave would lay off in excess of 500 translators, several 1,000
assistents, dramatically increase work ethics and hence efficiency by
as much as a factor 3-5 (all EP's actually doing real work, will
probably mount to even more then that)

I say: Google Wave is bound to do good!

Closer to home, I can see Wave being incredibly helpful on the Local
Government level. I work with Local Government and I'm already thinking
of ways that the Wave can be used to both improve Council->Community
communications as well as internal and external collaborative projects.

Fun thoughts..... but, laid off translators will 'eat' from national
budgets instead, so no real cost cutting here.
On the other hand, it will make very transparent who chips in with
what and who does not.

I totally agree, I do not work on this but my Dad does and I can
totally see myself getting him to push this to many branches of the
Gov.

You forget one thing: Bills are most of the times discussed by local
governments and organizations before the delegated person actually
signs it. Singing bills will go indeed faster. But not in 1-2 days.
