John helped Olov Ostberg and I with production on the G8 Democracy and Government Online Services report in published in early 1999 <http://www.statskontoret.se/gol-democracy/>. Olov brought me over to the Statskontoret to consult for a month in May 1996 (I took a short leave from my Minnesota government online coordinator job <http://www.state.mn.us>). This help launch my pattern of occasional "e-democracy walk-abouts" and speaking trips. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Sat, 14 Apr 2001 19:57:39 +0200 (MET DST) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Easter links from Gotzespace Easter. Time off. A time to catch up with a few things webwise. I've redesigned several of my sites, among them Gotzelinked (http://www.links.gotzespace.dk), as Gotzespace Webmasters Links is now called. With the redesign, I've joined the Browser Upgrade Campaign that WASP runs. Consequently, visitors with an old browser, such as Netscape 4.5 or something, will get an unstyled, boring page, whereas people with modern browsers (MSIE5+, NS6, Opera, or a few others) will get a nicer, well, styled, page. The new design in Gotzespace uses webstandards, not browserstandards, as I write in my column at http://SlashDemocracy.org. CSS2 and well- formed XML, well XHTML, are some of the standards that I now use. Those interesed in these thiings will find many of the recent Gotzelinks interesting. Do let me know what you think of the redesign or anything else.
