Web guide – June project update
We’ve been fairly busy in the past month. You’ve seen some of the work we’ve been discussing on the blog regarding information architecture, metadata and content, as well as our current thinking on blogging itself.
But behind the scenes, we’ve been working on yet other areas. Read more

Crowd-sourced labels, names and IA via external folksonomies
We wanted to investigate the possibilities of attaching tags or folksonomies to our content. Our original Content Management System (CMS) didn’t have the ability to support internal tagging, so we decided to investigate options for externally-sourced tags. During some of our early tinkering, we explored what would be required to support a variety of ways to get tagging of content.

An update on the PDF Accessibilty Review
In early September, AGIMO launched a project to review the accessibility support of the Portable Document Format (PDF), for use on government websites. The project is being run in collaboration with the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) and the Department of Families and Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA).
The initial stage, the Public Consultation, began on September 16 and ran for about 6 weeks to 26 October 2009. We invited comments from many and in the end received just over 40 formal submissions from members of the public; peak disability groups; government departments; industry and accessibility experts.

Did We Hear You Correctly?
A couple of months ago we ran some focus groups on what people think about the Web Publishing Guide – what they like and don’t like about the Guide, and what we could do to the Guide to make their jobs easier. The results are sitting in our inbox now.
Many of you will already have an inkling of what the hot topics are likely to be, but seeing the results from across all participants so far may also be useful.
We’ve attempted to summarise this 34-page document into a single blog post — most of your feedback could be roughly categorized as follows: Read more
