Of course it could... but with tight public budgets it would likely be implemented so poorly as to be useless.
- xtiansimon 7y agoMy city can barely make a webpage (poor content structure), and event calendar that isn’t woefully out of date. What about the US Digital Services? A WPA program for 21st century?
- godelski 7y agoWell then as a rebuttal: >> I'm sure a discussion somewhere like HN could quickly improve on this idea in a way that would be robust and easy to implement (because a key thing is that we want to get small towns to be able to implement this)
- godelski 7y agoThat's why I suggested a group of technologically savvy people undertake the challenge to devise a system that is trivial to implement. Cost likely isn't going to be much considering a small town isn't going to need much bandwidth and since many do already run websites (albeit shabby).
