Last week, the Scottish Government issued a "roadmap" on how they would achieve their renewable energy targets by 2020. I blogged about it last Friday, provided a link to the pdf file on the Government website, and downloaded it myself.
Yesterday, commenter and fellow blogger Braveheart brought to my attention that the pdf was no longer available from the link I posted. Sure enough, it was gone. Looking at the recent publications list, it didn't appear for July. Or June. What was going on?
I went back to the government press release, where they provided a link to the report. Sure enough, there it is - filed under the original publication which it updates, and under the date for that original publication, July 2009.
This raises a number of questions. Why would the government remove the publication from it's 2011 listing and bury it under another report name in 2009? Why make it as hard as possible for people to find the roadmap? Is it normal practice to file new reports under the names of the old reports that they replace, with the old report's publication date?
Or is this all just a mistake? After all, the home page of the government's website currently has news of the roadmap front and centre, along with a link.
Like I said, curious.
