Hi Adeline (and Deborah),
I can see the following likely impacts:
* The mechanics of changing portfolios will mean that there is content to be
merged/split/repurposed, sites to be re-architected, and a lot of graphic
design work. This applies to both intranet and internet.
* Regardless of portfolio slicing and dicing, individual organisations will
probably change their external web presence under direction from the incoming
management.
* A lot of web managers will be wondering (possibly this time tomorrow if a
new cabinet is announced) how to implement the immediate changes now and the
bigger changes later in a sensibly phased approach that fits within Ministerial
directive, the regulatory framework for Government sites, and their available
budget.
I remember 1996 - there were fewer Government sites then, and it still created
a lot of work for a lot of people. I know that there have been some
forward-thinking souls considering the implications of this for the best part
of 12 months now.
It will be interesting to see what happens next.
Best regards, Andrew

Hi Deborah,
I can't see how the changes will make an impact as yet but this resource is
useful (if you aren't aware of it already).
