| Subject: | WebLog Candidates |
At yesterday's meeting, Lee Iverson gave a short report on the concept of "WebLog" software, as exemplified by the SlashDot website.
Lee mentioned that he had installed SlashDot, and that it was a horrific process. He also mentioned that it was bulletproof, once installed, and that the WebLog concept, in general, would provide us with a much more reasonable medium to track our thoughts than an email archive -- with the added benefit that we might choose to extend the system we install, or at the very least reuse the information stored in the database repository, rather than having it sit in a virtually inaccessible email archive. (SlashDot allows for adding comments, evaluating comments, and evaluating the evaluators --which affects the weighting of their evaluations.)
In all, he identified 4 possible candidates for our use, most of which also came highly recommended by Paul Fernhout in an earlier message.
