Has anyone noticed this ominous announcement on the open.gov.uk website
(http://www.open.gov.uk)?

>>>Closure of open.gov.uk web service
>>>The open.gov.uk web service will be gradually withdrawn over the next few
months and cease to be available from 1st July 2001.
>>>Similar services are provided by the UK Online citizen portal at
> <http://www.ukonline.gov.uk>
>>>We strongly recommend that any bookmarks you may have for the open.gov.uk
domain are deleted.

I find the current site invaluable both for keeping up to date with new
official publications made available on the Web (via the "What's New"
section) and as a quick and comprehensive index to existing governmental and
quasi-governmental websites. In it present state, UK Online citizen is
regrettably a poor relation
