Robin, thanks for the comment. I've actually found my "Budgetstarter" idea on the Knight Foundation Challenge https://www.newschallenge.org/open/open-government/submission/digital-participatory-budget-open-source/

Glad to know I'm not the only one looking at ways to bring new ideas to citizen interactions.

Isn't the email problem a training problem not a tool problem? Dropping attachments is a tool choice. Everything else is how people use the tools that we assume they know how to use to properly communicate. Everyone scoffs at the classes but it isn't intuitive. And lack of understanding leads to misuse.

I do agree that email is not about knowledge, but it never was. It's about communication, which is applied knowledge in context. Email has an expiration date, unlike SarbOx requires us to do in corporate environments.
