At the end of tonight's conversation cafe, I asked everyone to tell me what was the most important or interesting thing they had heard - this is that list:

• Care and motivation
• Copy (reuse) what people are doing overseas
• Government 2.0 could really be described as “Government Party” - inspiring things can happen when people meet
• Government 2.0 gives people that care a voice
• Government 2.0 is about maintaining relationships, not occasional engagements or consultations with people
• Government 2.0 is not a brand new idea, its just that government is the last to adopt these ideas. We need to show them examples
• Government 2.0 needs a purpose
• Government 2.0 should make things easy for the user (and they might use government online more)
• Government 2.0 will happen despite government
• Government simply using Web 2.0 is not Government 2.0 - it must include participation and decision making
• How do we include people (digital divide) - social networking could be the way in
• How do we make Government 2.0 accessible
• If people feel valued, they will contribute
• Innovation involves failure
• Its the manner in which Government 2.0 is introduced (behaviour change)
• Not about us and them - we are the government
• Putting a value on knowledge
• What will be the impact of the current economic environment vs the vision of Government 2.0
• We need critical mass to be effective
• What’s the motivation for transparency?
• What’s the motivation?

I haven't done any analysis or sorting of these just yet, but feel free to add any immediate comments (or corrections if any of these are your points) you might have.
