Wiki Use By the G20 With Latest Technology

Wiki Use By the G20 With Latest Technology

It may not be common knowledge that world leaders, civil servants and journalists attending the G20 summit all use a social network to communicate with each other, share documents and create and enable wiki use on important policy issues. Developed by Open Text, the G20 social network works as a website and also as an iPad app with the latest technology.

Different countries have different icons, as do departments like Climate Change, Environment and Economy. Viewed on the iPad it is almost a direct copy of the iPad's native interface, which makes it easy to follow and understand. Each country has a members list, a collection of documents and a shared wiki full of links to pdfs and policy documents for discussion. New information relating to any of those countries or topic areas pops up as a circled notification.
