The following is a highlight of a competitive analysis I did earlier this year when I was involved in designing software that would allow remote research teams to work together. While software is still a long way from replacing all in-person collaboration it's becoming easier for remote or mobile workers to stay productive and communicative with their team.

We're looking for the best of the best in open and engaging government. The second annual Merit Awards program will recognize excellence in innovative implementations that aim to deliver a more efficient and collaborative government.
The nomination process is simple – just tell us in 500 words or less how your nominee is helping to create a more open and engaging government, whether it's in interagency collaboration and information sharing, constituent interactions, or overall creativity.

The status of the research evidence is clearly an important issue, and even an urgent issue given that the policy is already being implemented (on a massive scale). What, then, does the published research really say about the effects of grammar teaching?
