FYI Begin forwarded message: > From: Bill Hart-Davidson <[log in to unmask]> > Date: December 13, 2007 3:48:34 PM GMT-05:00 > > Thanks again for allowing us to come and talk today. You are welcome > to look at one of the more developed SWAP-based applications that we > used in the demo today. It's called the Literacy Resource Exchange > and it lives here: > > http://tne.wide.msu.edu > > It's the Beta site that was built for the community of literacy > teachers (K-12), student teachers, and teacher educators. You can > create an account, flesh out a profile, upload resources, start a > group, etc. Not all of the SWAP modules are represented in the LRE, > but the integration of two of the most important functions the group > named today are: social networking and resource sharing/commenting. > Our collaborative editing and versioning modules are not integrated > into the LRE at the moment, for example (hence "exchange" in > Literacy Resource Exchange). But we can arrange for access to some > of these too. > > To answer Missy's question, our approach is to license the use of > the swap core services and modules and encourage third-party > development/mods as well; we are working with MSU Technologies on > the licensing options now, but it will certainly be some sort of > open-source model if not the GPL. > > One thing we did not talk about in the meeting is how our process > works since we don't have a ready-built product that you can just > install, but I assume that WIDE would help an IT exchange working > group of some sort to implement a SWAP installation that could, over > time, be extended as the community itself saw fit. If the core set > of functions that the community wants to begin with are similar to > the LRE's, this could go pretty quickly. > > -Bill H-D > >> Mike and Bill, >> >> >> Thank you very much for presenting during the MSU IT Exchange >> meeting.
