Hi folks -- I am really excited to share with you the "beta" (which is to say constantly evolving until I learn how to use it) community, devarts.org (http://www.devarts.org).
Eventually, I hope to provide a breeding ground for a community of visual artists and development practitioners working together. For the moment, its a dynamic place to share insights into ways the visual arts can be leveraged to bring the global community closer to realization of the Millennium Development Goals. In addition to my own use of the space to regularly provide Some of the features on devarts.org include: - User blogs: like an online journal, its a personal publishing place on the web to share your work and ideas. Features RSS syndication so people can read it without having to jump on the web. - Collaborative books: tools to create online "books" through collaboration with other community members - Shared calendar: post and keep track of important events with built in email reminders - News aggregation services: collection of news items from arts and development related blogs and other syndicated content - Photo galleries: limited space to post photos of your work - User moderated discussion forum: engage in discussions on specific topics. Can include the "how to's" of production, challenges to successful implementation of programmes -- anything really: its up to community members! - Community messaging: send private emails to community members ... And lots more! Membership is free. I encourage you to drop by sign up. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you at DevArts ;P PS -- If you find bugs in the system, please let me know -- I am sure there are bugs to be worked out! lars -- lars hasselblad torres art + technology + democracy http://tagstudio.net _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
