Some galleries, libraries, achieves and museums are using the web to deliver services to their communitiess. Probably behind their university counterparts, but well ahead of other government departments. I could a dozen or more examples of blogs in the glam sector, the PowerHouse Museum is a leading light in Oz as far as web2.0 is concerned. The only blogs I know of in the rest of the Australian government sector that allow comments (and both are moderated) are HREOC http://hreocblog.com/ and NSW Office of Fair Trading http://www.blogs.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/rippedoff/ Not all government departments are that far behind the wave.

As for real education, Yes 100% behind that. A real conference getting to the heart of the matter. overcoming real issues, told by people that have really done it. @Matthew can’t tell you specifics at present.

I agree that many people (yes, even consultants) don't know what Web 2.0 is and what it can really offer organisations (government or otherwise). I'd like to see real education. A real conference that deals with these issues -- not just singing the hallelujah chorus and worshipping at the foot of wikis, blogs and tagging.
