Hello all,
Following the decisions on Wednesday I have changed the ComProj pages
around to meet our new, deformalised structure. I am tired and thus
probably haven't made things as clear as they should be so if someone
could take a look and neaten things up that would be great.
Let's see if this works :)
Sean
Hey Sean,
Just had a look. I’m totally exhausted too. Talk about mixing directories.
But I can see where you’re going. Goodoh.
Reading between the lines, we have been here. HYPERLINK

And now we’re here. HYPERLINK
"http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group"http://meta.wik
imedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group
So I guess this is what yuall discussed at the last IRC meeting although
there is no record yet.
Look I can only suggest to you that we’ve got to start thinking outside the
square(s). There comes a time where a wiki can’t be all things to all
people, and the comms tools wikipedians are offered (IRC, elists) are just
past their use bys.. It comes down to this. HYPERLINK
"http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group/Projects/Discus
sion_Outlets"http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Gro…
jects/Discussion_Outlets I’m asking you to think from the “discussion
inlets” perspective, where every inlet will be based around some group or
committee.
Ultimately, just like a wiki, if you give people the right tools, and make
their use simple enough, and show them through using it, they’ll find their
own level. Where a wiki has proved just so incredibly successful for
producing a library, we need something just as simple to use which supports
their communication, and by this I mean both the asynchronous stuff – where
I’ve pointed to sitepoint.com’s forums and blogs as an example – but also
their real time comms, which range from an msg type tool all the way through
to accessgrid-type rooms.or meeting space a la HYPERLINK
"http://labspace.open.ac.uk/"http://labspace.open.ac.uk/ If it needs a
manual, forget it.
So as a starting point can I again suggest that we consider designing a
forum. The integration with instant messaging tools can be something which
is considered while it grows legs. And could we (me) see about getting a
sponsor (and development partner) for “it”, because the higher bandwidth
stuff will blow any budget even if it’s halfway as successful as Wikipedia.
All the best,
simonfj
