New Site for Web 2.0 in Government

The National Academy of Public Administration has launched a new website, The Collaboration Project, focused on the use of interactive web and collaborative technologies in government. According to the site's About page:

The Collaboration Project is an independent forum of leaders committed to leveraging web 2.0 and the benefits of collaborative technology to solve government's complex problems. Powered by the National Academy of Public Administration, this "wikified" space is designed share ideas, examples and insights on the adoption of Web 2.0 technologies in the field of public governance.

The site features news and events, a database of case studies, white papers, and a blog called cpblog. The Collaboration Project was covered in an article, Virtual Networks: An Opportunity for Government, from the Spring 2008 issue of The Public Manager. (On a related note, this Public Manager article cites municipal libraries as an example of "the opportunity virtual networks offer public-sector leaders..to re-think their service delivery models.")
