loadsa cash

THe second half of the annocuncement this morning is that we have a new prize! Your ideas have so impressed Michael Wills, the Ministry of Justice minister, that he has stumped up £20,000 of his department's money to fund a prize for work up models of your idea.

If you are a keen developer who sees all the great idea and is itching to take them forward - now you can. We will be awarding prizes the extra £20,000 cash to the best implementations or prototypes we can find! We know there are some of you out there who have already been doing this, now is the time for those who have been mulling it over to dive in.

If you are an ideas man who wouldn't know javascript from php you should continue to submit your idea! We will develop the best ideas with our £20,000 fund.

Over the next few days we will be posting on some of the tools there are for development and highlighting some of the places you can go for support. In the meantime all the public information you need is here; the ideas are here.

Let the development begin!
