"It's More Than Talk"

I recommend this paper, posted on the Public Policy Forum website as
an excellent examination of using new media to engage public dialogue:

I agree, and I think many other people are coming to the same
conclusion as well. There's been some excellent tools funded by the
Sunlight Foundation in the US, and mySociety in the UK, that are
starting to show what's possible.

I've opened up a new discussion forum, here, for general topics
related to tools for online transparency in Canada:
http://groups.google.com/group/visiblegovernment-discuss

I'll post some of my favorite papers, etc. there to get things
started. Also, please check out the 'links' page at
visiblegovernment.ca.

That might be the best place to post resources, etc.
