Philip K. Howard: Four ways to fix a broken legal system
The land of the free has become a legal minefield, says Philip K. Howard — especially for teachers and doctors, whose work has been paralyzed by fear of suits. What’s the answer? A lawyer himself, Howard has four propositions for simplifying US law.
What role could government play in addressing this issue? Better yet, what role can you and I play in addressing this issue, together?
Once upon a time, I designed and deployed SharePoint portals for a living in various agencies within the Federal government. My fascination with SharePoint has not dwindled and now I am on a quest to root out any and all implementations of public facing, government-run SharePoint sites. I am aware of the following at this point in time:
Treasury.gov (SP 2010/AWS) - added 3/22/2012
Marines.mil - added 3/22/2012
Department of the Navy/Civilian Human Resources (MOSS 2007) - added 5/16/2012
City of Des Moines (MOSS 2007) - added 5/16/2012
So if you are aware of any others, be it Federal, State, or Local government implementations, please drop me a line and let me know. Be sure to include which version of SharePoint is currently deployed and any other thoughts regarding the implementation (good, bad, or indifferent). Thanks in advance!
NOTE: My intention is to follow-up with a comprehensive post entailing my findings.
