hi Ari, there are now more than 1400 users registered at http://conference.archimuse.com -- the online site we've created with drupal for the museums and the web conference community.
while contributions are cyclical, related to the rhythms of the meeting, the traffic on the site, particularly the bibliography of past papers, is constant. we'll be using the site for Best of the Web nominations this year, and as the platform for selecting the People's Choice winner as well. anyone in the field is welcome to join, and contribute! jennifer At 12:20 PM -0500 11/10/08, Ari Davidow wrote: >Is anyone using Ning or grou.ps to help pull together intranet >activity or Community of Practice (or general community)?
