Today I learnt that the beta version of the Inside Government website has been launched. Ten departments will be keeping it up-to-date for six weeks. It promises to the best place to keep up-to-date with the government's news, policies, publications and consultations, thereby minimizing the need to scan each department's website separately.
The front page has a "latest activity" section (which will eventually be updated real time) so you know what is going on in government right now. The feed is colour-coded, which each department being allocated a particular colour. Most exciting for me is the fact that each government department will have its own home page within the site, and they'll all have exactly the same lay-out. There will also be policy pages that provide policy overviews and links to all the news and publications relating to that policy, regardless of which department has produced the information.
It looks really promising.
