[WSIS CS-Plenary] UN Official Document System is online

[Marouen MRAIHI]

Yes it works under IE 6.0 . I made a research using "logiciels libres" and
I was able to download a Word document and to have a look on the PDF
version online.

It's funny because the document I found (ref. A/59/558) was about :

"Information and communications technology strategy

Strengthening the Department of Public Information, within the existing
capacity, in order to support and enhance the United Nations web site in
all official languages of the Organization: status of implementation"

Interresting point concerning Open source :

"Implementation
•	Enterprise resource planning systems
•	Common application solutions
•	Open source software
•	Knowledge sharing
•	Web management and content
•	United Nations system directory
•	ICT assets; procurement and disposal"

and at the end :

" Web Development and Webcasting Unit : Total (25 established posts and 3
temporary) "
