This would certainly be an opportunity. It would presumably need a dedicated manager from our side. It would have to be discrete enough to see tangible results in the timeframe.

What are the characteristics that the university would require from such a project? What would happen to the IP - would it reside with the university or be available to the public domain?
Could we develop a larger project from several bits?

Michael Daly's request is an opportunity to put out an offer to use our
students to assist in this type of work. Our third year students have to
do a group project (4-6 students) on some information systems project. The
project has to be a real life situation that solves a tangible problem,
such as selecting, installing and commissioning a Content Management
System. If you have ideas for other system tasks let me know. The teams
tend to split around different functions e.g. project manager, systems
analyst, designer, programmer, etc.  and they are expected to put in 120
hours of work each. The projects run from August to October. The students
compete for a $1000 awarded by Accenture and they are very competitive and
the best produce very high class results of industrial standard. You might
want to use them for your own enterprises or for a community group you are
aassociated with. The offer is restricted to the Sydney environs, although
last year one group travelled to Newcastle. Not all ideas are suitable for
this type of project as they might be too small or too large. Write to me
and I'm happy to help you develop something of the correct size.
cheers

Just ask us, Jon, we can think of all sorts of projects.
I have a son doing Computer Science at St Elsewhere's and I was already thinking up ways to get their groups involved in projects for "us" (being GP type people)
