Hey all,

we've just launched the brazillian alaveteli instalation:

In Brazil, the law of access of information has just been approved by the parliment, but still needs to be 'enabled' by the president and even then there is 180 days before it's actually working.

Because of this and a general lack of culture most of our govt bodies don't have a single email address/contact that handles all information request.

So we are starting to think about this and if it would be possible to have several mail address for different departments under the same authority. Does it make sense?

Just for an example, I've just asked some ministery for information on the cities contact and they've told me to contact a different department under the same body through telephone... any hints on that?

(Also, is this the place where this kind of 'non-totally-technical-issue' is suposed to live? Should I do it on the mailing list?)
