Subject: [TN] FW: New interface for Technet - "last chance" to comment
I previously sent this to you on July 6 and not much response but from
the few that did, it sounds like you are happy with the current Technet
interface (although you would like e-mail addresses taken out of the
FROM line). Just wanted to give you one last chance to let me know your
thoughts before our internal team meets at the end of July.
Thank you!
Kim

Subject: New interface for Technet - your comments?
One of the comments I received asked if participants could post profiles
and pictures of themselves. Unfortunately, this is not feasible on the
software we are currently using. However, we have been experimenting
with Groupsites and would like to offer this functionality to our
Technet participants. Of course, the drawback would be that everyone
would have to move to a new platform. However, Groupsites offers
personal profiles including biographies and photos, easy searching, file
posting and photograph posting, plus the opportunity for better group
communications. Consider it like a LinkedIn or Facebook, specifically
set up for you for free. Posts can be sent to you in digest form or in
real time.
Here are some example sites for you to look at (I've linked directly to
the discussion pages so it's not too overwhelming):
http://capitolgreenroofs.groupsite.com/discussion/forums
http://champions.groupsite.com/discussion/forums
http://usergroup.doubletake.com/discussion/forums
One of my concerns is whether companies are allowing access to sites
like this. I'd especially like any comments on people who can't click
through these links. The site would be set up by IPC and would be
accessed through our site, although you would have to create a free user
account on Groupsites to participate.
I know there was discussion about attracting people from other countries
to Technet. I don't know what this would do specifically but a more
up-to-date interface offering more functionality would certainly attract
more participants, especially among younger people entering the field.
Your comments on this idea are extremely welcome, either here on
Technet, to me personally or through a very tiny survey I set up at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=x3PS7MISHrXKFlhQPczCJA_3d_3d.
If we do proceed, we would like to have some volunteers comment on the
set up of the new site and to test it out. You can volunteer through the
survey or to me directly.
Thanks so much for your feedback. And, please note - this is not a "done
deal" - if the group hates this idea, we won't do it without your
approval.
