This is a good site, though it could use much more information and more links provided by those who are interested. I will do my best to get Switzerland on there once I have a grasp of their law.
Actually, there's no immediate info on that page on "wobbers" or wob-blogs. You have to click on the pdf link (1.5 MB). In small print on page 5 you'll find that wobbing is Dutch journalists' slang for Freedom of Information.
There you go. Now nobody else needs waste their time to find out! :)
I agree. I wasted ages trying to find out what a wob was. This page is often very badly designed. For goodness sake, please stop using esoteric phrases...blogs, wobs, etc. keep things simple otherwise I simply wont come back to this page.
I am a bit surprised that Martin (a previous poster) "wasted ages trying to find out what a wob was". Just one click on the "Useful site" link and there was the explanation right in front of me:
Wobbing = (verb, Dutch journalist slang) getting documents through Freedom of Information legislation.
Etymology: Wet van Openbaarheid van Bestuur, abbreviation WOB.
It isn't as if we had to put in an FOI request!
