Sorry, I was being (very) sloppy in my writing - I did assume so after your e-mail and the link. I feel it adds to my point though: I suppose that by the terms of the hosting agreement they have with mySociety, they're not legally required to mention mySociety on the site itself. However, as a Zurich native, I'm somewhat taken aback that they're really making it look to the public as if this was not only hosted but also coded by themselves. In fact, even the presser just said, that "this kind of communication channel is well-established in other countries under the name 'fix my street' (sic)", casually skipping the point that this is actually running as a subdomain of fixmystreet.com and hosted by mySociety. I suppose in the end I'd just prefer my hometown to say "Hey look, we bought this really cool product/service form mySociety which we're now making available to you" rather than saying something along the lines of "Hey, look at this really cool service which we developed for you"! But maybe I'm just being cranky... Michael
