    India shows no signs of stopping, or slowing, its digital diplomacy effort

    Hey, if it's good, why not ?

      Yeah, this is a bit worrying really... It's like we're working together as a species rather than constantly re-inventing the wheel.... this doesn't sound like 'people'... what am I missing? ;)

      "Hey, if it's good, why not ?"

      Careful now! That's the kind of co-operative logic that gave us the Linux cancer. If it isn't nipped in the bud, we might one day have governments all running their public services with flexible, well supported, inter-operable, trusted packages.

      Given that all governments have quite a lot of admin functions in common, it is shocking that they all seem to have the not-invented-here attitude. One could understand it if they were preferring to spaff money at their own industries, but most of them aren't even doing that.

      The insanity is even more obvious at local government levels, where the services to be provided and the legal constraints are actually identical.
