Re: [MCN-L] WordPress-based interactive kiosks?
What is the value of doing this on the server side? I.e. what kiosky thing would WP actually be doing here? It's been a long time but many of us have done kiosks on the client side with browser plugins--wrapping whatever web content from whatever CMS in a controlled interface. Maybe it's that experience giving me tunnel vision, but I'm having trouble seeing what the CMS would have to do with the kiosk. Or why a kiosk would benefit from knowing what your CMS is.

From a discussion on AAMG-L, I'm wondering if anyone knows of an interactive kiosk that uses WordPress as its content management system -- like a WP theme that can pull information about objects loaded into WP and display it in tabs, which can be used from an in-gallery kiosk. I don't know of any off the top of my head, but it seems like the kind of thing that should exist.

[MCN-L] Recent MCN-L downtime and the future
Hello MCN-Listers, As many of you are no doubt aware, MCN-L was down for weeks, we thought we got it back up and running recently, but mail was still not going out. It is now functioning and you likely got a whole lot of old messages. Also, we put in place some better monitoring. However, don't hesitate to alert us if you think something has stopped working. In related news: We are looking to include the list serve capability as part of our upcoming digital re-platforming. Our hope is to create a unified online venue for all MCN-related activities. website, blog, membership, conference, messaging, etc... For MCN-L that means migrating to something that is more integrated with the web (not just a web archive), specifically WordPress. To that end we are interested in hearing from folks who have either experience working with MailMan (the current tech stack serving MCN-L) or strong opinions and a willingness to contribute to the understanding of the future of MCN-L. If that’s you, hit up myself or Eric and let’s talk. -m@..
