What would be helpful for me is to know where exactly such government 
policies concerning *adult* IT literacy and social inclusion is.

Do you mean 'social environment' (ie,  as in  sharing cooperative happy 
...) or environment as in green trees and congestion charge.?
Either way I am very interested to get together on this aspect of IT too.

Once there was [www.becta.org,uk] with 'ITfor all' splashed across it. 
Now they  seem to concentrate on schools and few other established methods.

I suspect that there is a huge amount of disgruntled populace out there, 
who were once taught how to use of products from Macromedia and Adobe 
under various schemes but still unable to meet their daily software needs.

or atleast stop getting behind unsustainable IT solutions which only 
breeds scams!

Also, I do want to get back at some local people who laughed at me then, 
when I talked about free software.

Best wishes,
