Hiya
I hope the list won't mind this small plug.. we have been doing some interesting work lately in a non SharePoint (but related) collaboration discipline and through that, embarked in a new initiative that includes releasing a free web part for any organisations who might be interested in following what's happening. http://www.copenhagensummitmap.org/ The above site was the brainchild of my colleague Chris Tomich, who would be known to some as an occasional contributor to this list. He recognised the importance of the Copenhagen summit in terms of a massive worldwide collaboration event on a very complex problem, and hit upon the idea of pooling the expertise of some sense-making practitioners around the world to create a living view of the conference as it unfolds. The intention is to build a rich map of information taken from a variety of sources including live/delayed web casts of the conference and any other materials made available from the conference. The process of building the maps aims to be unbiased and all information is considered suitable content for the maps. This is essentially a wiki on steroids crossed between a debate tool. It allows people to rapidly understand the issues of the debate via visual exploration, as opposed to viewing a bunch of web casts or reading 50-100 page discussion papers. By placing this webpart somewhere on your SharePonint portals, you offer your colleagues a different glimpse of what is going on in Denmark. I also blogged <http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2009/12/14/sharepoint-debategraph-and-cope nhagen-2009-collaboration-on-a-global-scale/> about it the other day, with more detail and some screencasts to further convey the idea. Thanks Paul Culmsee http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2009/12/14/sharepoint-debategraph-and-copen hagen-2009-collaboration-on-a-global-scale/
