Rich, Thanks for the information on this, I didn't realize that ACNS was working on something, I didn't mean to jump ahead of them. Thanks for updating us, now that we know we can look forward to seeing something from the meeting. -- Troy Murray Informatics Specialist Michigan State University Biomedical Research & Informatics Center (BRIC) 100 Conrad Hall East Lansing, MI 48824 Phone: 517-432-4248 Fax: 517-353-9420 E-mail: [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Richard Wiggins [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wed 10/17/2007 12:44 PM To: Troy Murray Cc: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] IT Collaboration Tools In ACNS we're glad to see all the enthusiasm coming out of last Friday's IT Exchange. A small team of ACNS staffers already has begun investigating alternatives such as Wikis to create a collaboration environment for IT staff at MSU. The goal is to build a prototype that we can all try. Troy, would you like to join that team in its investigations? If any others would be interested, please send me a private note. /rich On 10/17/07, Troy Murray <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > >Would ACNS donate a http://w3vh.msu.edu/ host for this purpose?
