Networked government – could reboot Britain

CFA is the latest wave in the growing government 2.0 movement, joining the ranks of Federal CIO Vivek Kundra’s Data.gov site and innovation contests like Apps for Democracy and Apps for America, where citizens can create shared applications using public-sector data and win prizes.

Like these Gov 2.0 models and other open government initiatives, CFA seeks to build a platform that demolishes the wall between governments and the people they serve. But a key difference with CFA is that Pahlka hopes to develop solutions that allow citizens to create their own data rather than build applications from government-generated data.

And does that make sense?

Pahlka says people should think of government as a platform for interactivity, where the citizens personally affected by the city’s problems can help create the solutions.

Via government technology

Rebooting Britain (here) and (here) and (here).

But you could say it is already happening
