Franz: This one offtopic, from one of those who silently follows the discussions without normally interfering (aka lurker). Alain : Come out from the shadows, Franz. The more the merrier. I am pleasantly surprised at how much energy has been invested in this political discussion, and how many people have chipped in. :) Franz: I was doing kind of HyperCard dev.support for Apple Austria from 88 to 92 ... Alain : What a coincidence! I was recently an Apple Educational Consultant, for two years running. I had no idea that we had austrian counterparts. Another nice surprise. Life is full of suprises, eh! Franz: ... trying to build collaborating user groups (no success!) and I am reading your debates with great interest. Keep on going to the details. Alain : This is my specialty. I am a recent graduate in Communication at UQAM (Canada), with a specialization in Interactive Multimedia. In the course of my studies, I developed a web-based virtual campus that hosts several interactive dynamically-personnalized educational courses, provides a variety of means of communication and integrated pedagogical support functions, and a collaboration infrastructure to allow teachers and/or students to collaborate with one another. Alain : I am currently adapting the above system for a client (a group of university teachers) but, more relevantly, I am also adapting it for the UFP and OODL collaborations. And I am continuing my ongoing research and development in Communication and Collaboration, with the help of (and in the context of) the above groups. Alain : Welcome into the Light, Franz! ;) _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
