The FTA web site is now back at <http://www.fta.gov.au/>, minus the
photo of the previous Minister and quote from him. It is not clear
why the whole web site had to be taken down for several days so one
photo and one paragraph could be removed from one page. This should
have been a few minutes work, with no interruption to service.
According to "Sites offline after Ruddslide", Karen Dearne,
Australian IT, 4 December 2007
<http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,22864333-15306,00.html>,
the Australian Government Information Management Office advised
departments to review material on their websites. But I doubt they
were told to take the web sites down until the review was complete.
Also I had a call from National Archives to say that additional
advice was being issued to agencies to remind them they were required
to archive the old versions of the web sites.
For the last few days I have been at the "Enterprise 2.0" conference
discussing Wikis, Blogs and the like for use in organisations
<http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/labels/Enterprise%202.0.html>. Perhaps
the Trade ministry should take the plunge and make their web site a
Wiki which any employee can edit. As the system would track who made
what change when, this would not be as risky as it sounds.
