FAILCamp » birmingham city council http://failcamp.co.uk A one day event in Birmingham for stuff that didn't work. Mon, 17 May 2010 10:50:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Whatever happened to the Birmingham City Council website? http://failcamp.co.uk/whatever-happened-to-the-birmingham-city-council-website/ http://failcamp.co.uk/whatever-happened-to-the-birmingham-city-council-website/#comments Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:20:09 +0000 Pete Ashton http://failcamp.co.uk/?p=37 FAILcamp seems to have sparked an investigation. A few years ago Birmingham City Council announced they were to have a spangly new website but very little has been heard since. Paul Dale posted a report on the Birmingham Post site today indicating it’s another Capita-related snafu but, in the spirit of FAILcamp we want to know how this happened. What made the FAIL here? Can lessons be learned?

Josh Hart has started an investigation with new startup Help Me Investigate (and it’s worth noting that while he started it HMI is all about collective investigation and not axe-grinding) while Mike Cummins has submitted an FOI request.

If you’d like to help unravel this mystery join the HMI investigation or drop Josh a note on Twitter.

And then we’ll collectively present our findings at FAILcamp.
