I have it from the horse’s mouth at the Cabinet Office that we have won something in the POI Task Force’s ShowUsABetterWay competition. Not sure yet what this means, but we can certainly count on Task Force support in some form to develop the idea to the next stage.
According to this morning’s Guardian Technology article, five ideas have won hard cash: Can I Recycle It?, UK Cycling, School Catchment Areas, Location of Postboxes and Loofinder – the overall winner to be announced on Saturday.
We’ve been selected as one of five other ideas to “improve/mock up”: naturally FreeLegalWeb is not as self-defining an idea as Loofinder or any of the other cash winners.
Four other ideas submitted are already “fully working”.
