Long ago, there was a offer somewhere to set up a website to list their experience with daily corruption. The ideas was to have a searchable database on web with on-line list of names, tasks/jobs, going "rates" etc; all as a nice friendly service for our janata. This way one can set his/her expectation in terms of dealing with a govt/public employee. Imagine before going to say a telephone office you have info on-line telling you that say in Mumbai's Worli MTNL office, you are supposed to meet Mr A B C Kumar with a wad of 10 Rs 100 unmarked bills to restore phone service. You know exactly what to do, what to pay, to whom. Productivity goes up plus the govt-babu gets some online publicity too <!--emo&
