Hello,
Thursday Nov. 19 is just two weeks away. What should we
schedule for our topic(s)?
My notes include these past suggestions:
* Drupal showcase - demos and tips re. this popular open source
WCM platform
* UThink showcase - demos and tips re. this U Libraries blogging
and publishing tool, which uses the Movable Type platform
* Google Search Appliance
* Best practices in form design
* 2009 university web templates - we're nearing the end of their
first year of adoption; who's using them and what have we learned?
And, more recently:
* 3rd party web tools, and informing university policy about
their use (Sound familiar? Our recent list thread tipped me about this
one!) e.g. YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, and many others.
* Google Analytics --- I don't mind contributing to this
discussion sometime soon, but my most recent implementations should
have more time to collect data so that my demos could be more meaningful
* Unit and department web and database hosting needs (it would
be great to invite some OIT service providers / strategic planners to
such a mtg.)
I'm sure there's plenty of other topic possibilities. Please
let me know whether I should make an online form for voting on topics,
or whether we can come to a decision via the list itself. Or, other
ideas? (Remember, I'm winging it here --- your advice is needed, not
just on topics but how we run this continuing education and networking
effort)
Thanks for your help and suggestions!
