The Mayor's Office have shown a tinge of interest in the past. Its the
stuff below they had difficulty with ...
However in general public bodies do not measure up to what Monmouth have
done. Monmouth have not linked QR codes to their own web site. They have
not tried to justify their last bit of IT investment (e.g. someones idea
for a 40,000 pound app that has only had 7 people use it <--- Thats my
fiction, but Ive seen similar elsewhere - you know who you are!).
Those who accessed the 100K Monmouthpedia free wifi would see no sign on,
no advertising, no landing page, no email address farming, and there is no
charge - probably forever...
You get an email from this council - it has a wikipedia link. You go to
their main office - it has a wikipedia link. Go to their museum .... you
can have a copy of any one of 10,000 images (its a very small museum)
I think I could get a plaque on Buck House..... but this is only a bit
about QRpedia and plaques. Getting people to put plaques up is cool, but we
should ask MUCH more before giving them a slice of our riches. </rant>
