Jimmy Wales, the Wikipedia co-founder, has been appointed as a British government adviser on how Whitehall can make policy decisions more transparent, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The American internet entrepreneur, 45, will become an unpaid adviser across all government departments to help civil servants develop “innovative” new technology.
Under his role, it is expected that Wales will also advise civil servants on how the public can be better engaged through the internet as part of its “open government” initiatives.
A Whitehall source told the paper on Sunday night that Wales was one of a number of “unpaid advisers” who would provide help to civil servants rather than ministers.
