Yesterday marked the second week of FGI’s poll on story coverage. So far we have had 12 responses. From Bloglines we know we have at least 130 subscribers, so we invite you to stop by and let us know what kind of stories you’d like to see on FGI.

No FDSys related activity has been observed at the main FDSys site in the past week.

This week the FDSys blog featured two postings, one was a regular biweekly update and the other purported to measure FDSys against the LOCKSS criteria of Replication/Redundancy, Migration, Transparency, Diversity, Audit, and Economy. An article by LOCKSS staff explaining these criteria was published in the November 2005 issue of D-Lib Magazine and is available at http://www.dlib.org/dlib/november05/rosenthal/11ro senthal.html. Please consider reading that article, read the FDSys Blog posting and make your own judgement.

The volunteers at FGI continue to offer thanks to the staff of the GPO New Technologies Office for expanding this channel of information and potential dialog with the community of government information users.
