Have created a project-specific page for the two projects who's details I've contributed here. Having their information in the main column list makes them scroll off the edge of the screen, with PBwiki displaying the page in an iframe (not ideal).
Also, the idea of a project specific details page is a far more flexible option for displaying sizable amounts of information.

Hi, just wondering if anyone in Australia knows whether the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is using Web 2.0 in any way shape or form? I'm doing a Masters paper on Web 2.0 in Government focusing on the ATO. Thanks.

Anne,
A late reply, but the ATO has an e-Tax facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/ATOetax?v=box_3
Otherwise I'm not sure what material you will find for your Masters paper. Would love to read it when you're finished! Please publish it rather than letting it disappear into the murky halls of academia.
