[Community] Re: [UCIMC-Tech] An idea for our website

[Elizabeth Simpson]

Hi all, 
This is a great idea. In addition, we've had ongoing needs to have an online 'backpage' for IMC and workgroup internal to do lists, notes, and other stuff that isn't for the general public. 
I know there is an RFU wiki link (but no wiki) so I assume there is wiki software somewhere...
A wiki format would be great- there could just be a generic login and the peeps would populate it as needed. 
Part of that means that people with project ideas (like grants, outreach initiatives, etc) could put it up there and other peeps could pick them up, preventing the bottleneck that happens when only one or two people know about something.

This sounds like a great idea, Nicole.

Hey everyone,

I've been reflecting on how big my job is and how many things I want to do, but haven't been able to accomplish.  One thing I'd like to do is communicate the AWESOME things that I see taking place here.  I think this is part of the community connections focus, so I've included you all here for your input.




I'd like to ask the Tech group to create a webpage on the IMC site called "Inside the IMC" or something like that (Other ideas welcome - it doesn't have to be so corny)...is this possible?  It would basically be a page with the capability to upload stories and pictures.  Could it be a header one the line with Public i RFU BTP?  I considered asking people to just submit to the general news website as stories, but I actually think we need a our own page so that it is clear that this is the work that is happening at the IMC. 




Our role would be to invite specific people to write stories and see that they do.  There are plenty of topics:  the SkillShare, the Indy Media and Arts Lab, the BTP Book Sale, our new tenants, Amasong, C4A and OddMusic.  I can't htink of a month where there hasn't been someone/thing that would make an interesting story.




It would be a great way to digitally archive the work that people are doing at the IMC.  Once a month, I can send out an email directing people to the site with teasers, etc.  Basically, this is our newsletter done in a format that is time efficient for us all.




So, what do people think?   

Nicole
