[LINK] Agimo info site frustrations (was going to say sucks)

[Jan Whitaker]

This is nuts.
Have you tried to use this site lately to find anything?

http://agimo.gov.au/category/procurement/open-source/

Tell me what years those items were written in. Where are the actual 
documents? Some young thing got onto BLOG style and has lost the plot 
in my opinion. (sorry if the designer is a Link member -- I am very 
frustrated by this right now)
I was doing research to find an article for my class based on a link 
used last term and I was redirected to a  general place that said 
nothing about the topic for which the link originally applied!

So here is Ann Steward's article:
http://agimo.gov.au/2011/07/01/open-source-software-guide/
Which has a link to the guide:
http://www.finance.gov.au/e-government/infrastructure/open-source-software.html
And I get redirected once again to the crap say nothing page which 
has nothing to do with the original post!

I'm tired of going around in circles. Any advice as to how I find 
this guide????? (can you tell I'm running out of patience?)
Plus the site is painfully slow.

I did find it by putting the title into Google, but why couldn't they 
just manage their own published content correctly?

Of course I have no idea if this is still an approved document....but 
that's another problem altogether with information management.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
