Curios why the org is named "alphagov"

• andrewmcdonough 3y ago
  Alphagov was the original name of the project to see whether it was possible to do digital government differently in the UK. When it proved successful, it went on to replace many of the existing government online services, but the org name seems to have been left with the original name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gov.uk#Alphagov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gov.uk#Alphagov
