Our priority briefs focus is on local governments and communities. In reality, most features are generic to every level of government or any of the democratic sectors for that matter. What a media or non-profit organization does online might apply to a government web site and vice versa.
In order to stake a claim as a drafting lead, you need to join the BP Leadership Team, create a wiki account, contact Steven Clift - clift@publicus.net - and we'll make a note of it on the priority briefs.
Additional information on the UK funded content development is available along with important disclaimers.
