The onus is upon us now to engage with the government. Some of the
suggestions we have made on the draft open standards policy may be accepted
by the government. The next step would be determining the standards on the
basis of the policy. This is a complex process that will require both legal
and technical skills in a very wide variety of domains (fonts, GIS,
networking, document formats... you get the idea). It seems to me that this
challenge is ideal for the open, collaborative, participative model of open
source :-)
