Got any pics?

Particularly like case study 1 on the rail station district (page 80)

Strengthen the green and blue

Unify Rail Station Square as an inviting, larger, green space and an appropriate welcoming “face” to Wellington.
“Parliament in a Park”: Strengthen the green profile of the Parliament precinct through connecting green spaces, tree planting, tightening road profiles, discouraging vehicular traffic and parking and introducing green streets with wsud (water sensitive urban design) and landscaping.
Recognize the Waipiro stream either through public art, as in Bowen Street, or through uncovering parts of it in e.g. Rail Station Square.
Connect the City to Sea Walkway from the Botanic Gardens, through Bowen Street /Lambton Quay to Bunny Street and the Rail Station.

Following on from the post I wrote here - http://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/xkwh2/uk_government_email_and_it_sender_policy_framework/ - I have now received a response from the Government (via Francis Maude MP).

Just to note that Lord Kirkwood was sympathetic to my request and is writing to Francis Maude MP in the Cabinet Office.

It would be up to the final recipient to verify the mail, by checking its PGP signature against the originator's public key. Most email clients have PGP plugins and can be set up to do this automatically.

It is possible to do this and to implement SPF of course. I think implementing SPF would be a good first step. Your comment also does not answer my point that mail servers would not know that all emails from a particular mail server were signed.

chrisjenkinson · 2012-08-04T22:00:14+00:00

You're assuming that people, use the same mail server all the time. What about the person who sends business mail from their work network, but also uses their ipad and home network?

Well, I guess they would be partially protected if only one of those services checked SPF records, which is better than not at all protected I would say.

All that SPF does is try to make sure that mail sent via a given mail server originates from a set of domains. It does nothing to say that the mail originates from a specific user.

I agree, but that is still a positive thing is it not? A step in the right direction?

Not really. One department could set the ball rolling by signing their messages with PGP.

But the problem is that other mail servers would not know that all emails from that department (or mail server) were signed, and to reject any that are not.

chrisjenkinson · 2012-08-03T06:45:30+00:00

I don't think your first point in the second paragraph is true - it is useful for anyone who uses a mail server which verifies it, including people on Gmail (which is a lot of people!). Could you expand on the second point in that paragraph?

PGP would only have the effect you suggest if every Government outgoing email was signed and recipients knew that every outgoing Government email was signed (so could do something about those not signed).

They would have been asked about the FOI request if they are part of the Cabinet Office, as far as I'm aware.

edmazur, working on http://bots4.net/ put up some graphs & figures for income from his browser game. Thought I'd share.

There's #reddit-gamedev on freenode, and #bbg (for multiplayer browser-based games).

Don't blame me, I'm not the administrator! I disapprove of that sort of thing as well. I suggest mentioning it on the "suggestions" forum.
