  • Très intéressant travail de « doctrine » de l’équipe digitale du Premier Ministre britannique. Je trouve le document efficace sur le fond comme sur la forme :
    – sur le fond, la décision est fondée sur des faits et des éléments tangibles. Le document prend en compte les pour et contre et des éléments clairs (par exemple sur l’idée de laisser des tiers agir s’il y a besoin dans une logique #opendata.
    – sur la forme, c’est facile à lire et à comprendre, et même « drôle »... alors que c’est un document plutôt officiel...

    Du beau travail d’#innovation publique

  • Le gouvernement britannique ne veut pas d’#apps #mobiles

    - government’s position is that native and hybrid apps are rarely justified
    – make sure your service meets the Digital by Default Service Standard and it will work well on mobile devices (responsive HTML5)
    – make your data and/or API available for re-use and you will stimulate the market if there is demand for native apps
    The 5 questions civil servants should ask before contemplating asking for an exemption are:
    1. Is our web service already designed to be responsive to different screen sizes? If not, why not?
    2. What is the user need that only a native/hybrid app can meet?
    3. Are there existing native/hybrid apps which already meet this user need?
    4.. Is our service available to 3rd parties via an API or open data? If not, why not?
    5. Does meeting this need justify the lifetime cost of a native or hybrid app?
    We are not ‘banning’ apps outright. For example, the NHS-funded ‘Change 4 Life’ healthy lifestyle apps rely on a persistent 24/7 presence on users’ mobiles to try to persuade people to eat and drink more healthily.
    But we are backing open standards, in this case the Web.
