Work procedure
The basic idea for the whole project and the first aim was to see everything from the users point of view, from the citizen´s point of view.

The second aim was that information for the citizens was stored in old IT-systems, which wasn´t prepared for the Internet and for web-services. 
Is it possible to develop a platform, which could publish old systems databases in a secure way in to the Internet, and could the platform work in different environments in different countries?

The third aim was to make sure all citizens have the opportunity to use the new technique.  For coordinating the project we had to set up the coordination office, organize documents, templates and stuff that helped the partners to start up the project at their places. 
We had the start-up meeting in Svenljunga in March 2006. It was two days of discussions about the coordination, the timetable, the project and about the i-COIN platform, -what should this platform be?

To set up the local project in Svenljunga was not so easy as expected.  The internal organisation in the municipality had problems to see the benefit for them in the work with the project despite the work we had done in the pre-work.
Fortunately during the project time more and more units in the municipality started to work in the aim of the i-COIN project.
