Govdoc’rs:
In part because of reasons I explained in a separate govdoc-l posting, I
see I’ve let close to a month go by without a “New FGI Discussions”
post. Hopefully you had a RSS reader and were subscribed to our feed at
http://freegovinfo.info/blog/feed. But if not …
While I may have been quieter during this time, my colleagues and
October Blogger of the Month Barrett Jones have not. Here are some
stories that Barrett and and The Free Government Information
(http://freegovinfo.info) volunteers posted in the
past two weeks (Because a month’s worth of posts is too long):
