Comments on: Publications Evolving Blog-like Appendeges http://cogdogblog.com/2005/11/13/blog-like-appendeges/ Alan Levine's space for barking about and playing with technology Fri, 25 May 2012 14:40:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Matt Pasiewicz http://cogdogblog.com/2005/11/13/blog-like-appendeges/comment-page-1/#comment-2310 Matt Pasiewicz Wed, 16 Nov 2005 21:03:23 +0000 http://cogdogblog.com/?p=1183#comment-2310 We've had a number of RSS feeds available for a while now. I guess we first introduced the bulk of these feeds in August 2004 You can read more about this activity here: http://connect.educause.edu/blog/mpasiewicz/how_educause_is_using_the_google_search_appliance/615 You can find about all our RSS feeds at: http://www.educause.edu/Syndicate/1586 I didn't realize that we had RSS probs tho' Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like our OPML feed is a little outdated too ... another one to add to the list. http://www.educause.edu/apps/syndicate/opml.asp I hope we'll take strides to more seemlessly unify our content and community intitiatives going forward. I'd like to open up commenting so there is less of a threshold to participation. I'd like comments collected on any page submitted to the author of that material (ER, EQ, Conference Resources, etc) ... not just displayed on the page. Yes, every page on our site has trackback auto-discovery enabled. We're collecting data, but not displaying it yet. Again, it is an issue of handling trackback spam ... same with having a solution for comment spam. The problem is that we've taken a home grown, low-fi content management system that is using dated technology and we can't easily tap into anything going on in the open source world to bolt on to it. I really like what the AcademicCommons site has done with drupal and hope to investigate broader deployment of techologies like this soon so that we can more easily tap into the plumbming provided by an active group of developers. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Any feedback, thoughts, wish lists gathered over the next 30 days would be greatly appreciated. I'll be blogging about this request soon too. Also, any thoughts on how EDUCAUSE should deploy wikis, or psuedo-wikis would be of interest. We'll see what happens. We have one classically trained developer and one wanna be (me), but I believe we're getting ready to add another coder soon ... Cheers, Matt We’ve had a number of RSS feeds available for a while now.
