I really like this project. One of the few things that the government seems to be getting right at the moment.

Ben Terrett (GOV.UK/GDS Head of Design) talked about that a bit in one of the blog posts introducing our design principles: http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/2012/04/03/design-princi...
