New Tools for Collaboration · 7 November 07 by Jonathan Kuniholm
After several months of hoping that we could figure out how to effectively manage the spammers on forums of the old Open Prosthetics site, we’ve given up, moved the forums to a new Google Group, and are trying to get up and rolling again. We’ve added a couple of free tools from other websites to help with collaboration.
Our new social net on Ning allows volunteers, users, and anyone who is interested to make direct connections and is, we hope, the magic bullet that will free everyone from being choked by our in box.
We’ve established a wiki, that you can participate in editing. Check out all of the new projects there, and consider discussing your ideas for new ones.
The Google Group duplicates some of the information available elsewhere, but also allows broadcast communication for those who like it.
Please let us know how things go, and we’re hoping these new tools and features get the Open Prosthetics community functioning in a way that we haven’t so far.
