Good value!

Elsewhere, as previously mentioned here, there’s also the European Constitution Wiki which deserves a lot of support.

Oh, and I see the blog of Margot Wallström, the EU Commissioner for Institutional Relations and Communication, has now been fully activated with comment features and feed. Excellent.

I feel sure that her commendable example will bring her colleagues to follow soon.

Update:
A pretty sharp observation from CorporateBlogging.info:

I hadn’t noticed… the url had changed from

europa.eu.int/comm/commission_barroso/wallstrom/weblog/
to
weblog.jrc.cec.eu.int/page/wallstrom

Could be an insignificant technical detail. Could also be a sign telling us that the Commission has prepared it’s infrastructure for more blogs.

I’d be willing to bet a bundle on it!
