After dinner tonight here at Ian and Mary Reid's house, Mary was about to head out the door to do some campaigning when she got a text message from someone alerting her to this piece on the Guardian's website.
It's titled In praise of … the e-nation.

See the World Economic Forum's 2005-06 Global Information Technology Report website for more.
Gee, I wonder if all the participation-oriented projects that have been piloted by the local e-Democracy National Project had anything to do with this?
