To help their antiquated indexing systems, quoting #ukgovOSS. (Funny how trivial it is to subvert such a method.) Still, it's a welcome sign. "Governments, can become more innovative, more agile and more cost-effective by building on the fruits of community work." "This Government has long had the policy, last formally articulated in 2004, that it should seek to use Open Source where it gave the best value for money to the taxpayer in delivering public services. While we have always respected the long-held beliefs of those who think that governments should favour Open Source on principle, we have always taken the view that the main test should be what is best value for the taxpayer." -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
