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.

Nothing I'm aware of from the ATO Anne.

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.

This is a great idea. Can people please flag whether the project is Federal, State or Local Govt? Agencies/Dept like to know about those in a similar context.

Hi Lisa, I have no first hand experience but I'm sure the very helpful people at business.gov.au will be able to help you. You can see their page at: http://www.business.gov.au/Information/Pages/LiveChat.aspx
