<http://www.epracticejournal.eu/>
(3 December 2007)The European Journal of ePractice (EjeP) was
launched today, marking the beginning of a deep engagement not only with
sharing but also with analysis of good practice across EU27+. The new
online publication on eGovernment, eHealth and eInclusion is as an
initiative of the European Commission's ePractice.eu portal and it aims
to promote the diffusion and exchange of good practice in these areas.
The first issue - entitled "The socio-technical nature of good practice
exchange" - features several articles by various experts on eGovernment.

Epractice.eu reaches milestone
<http://www.epractice.eu/cases/epractice>
(30 November 2007)The ePractice.eu portal has seen significant
growth since its launch; over 800% growth in members (now at 11,500) and
close to 150% growth in cases since November 2006 (now at 731). The site
has also evolved from a rather static description of cases to a dynamic
site with blog contributions, star rating and monthly workshops which
build the community, day by day. Created by the European Commission, the
interactive initiative offers a new service for the professional
community of eGovernment, eInclusion and eHealth practitioners,
empowering its users to discuss and influence open government,
policy-making and the way in which public administrations operate and
deliver services.
