Basic conditions
The focus in the pilot project in Svenljunga was accessibility.
Minimize the gap between people who have computer skills and access to Internet for getting topical information and the people who haven´t skills or possibility for using computers and to let citizens have access to internal IT-systems containing public information, -in an easy way.

This are basic matters in (e-) democracy.
