It’s official: civil servants are nuts
The Dutch department for internal affairs has seen fit to publish a style guide for ministerial websites. It is full of sound and meaningful advice, such as:
- Do not use upper case letters, spaces and special characters in file and path names.
- Use logical and simple URLs.
- Use unique URLs that will not change.
This style guide can be found at:
