That's interesting to hear wayne. I'm, just going through CANARIE's list to see if Athabasca is connected. http://www.canarie.ca/members/index.html Doesn't seem to be a member which is disappointing. Still, they have a lot of nice relationships, and connections, like this. http://www2.athabascau.ca/aboutau/news/news_item.php?id=437 Can I just mention this strategic plan as it's pretty much what the NREN's are thinking. https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/I2SP/2008+INTERNET2+STRATEGIC+PLANNING;jse,ssionid=22FC5C66A54E9733B38A4DDBB301C449 Sooner or later we need to see the gap between the (National centric) network builders and domain/tool centric content producers bridged. Or, to put it differently, get the info networks and (real time) comms network to align (in supporting a group's sessions). In brief, help this kind of group interoperate in many domains. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group If you read Deke Kassabian's comment at the Internet2 strategic planning wiki about "bootstrapping their own Instant Messaging and Presence services. The PIC working group is uniquely positioned to coordinate,............(and the rest of this para)" , you'll get some idea of the Real Time Communication services which could help similar groups on (say) on Wikipedia and Wikieducator to communicate a lot better, and perhaps coordinate/share their productions. The byproduct is that we might ensure better connectivity between the I AND CT of global groups (like we 9). Eric and Brion have more experience here than most domain managers as the wikipedia network is quite (globally) extensive. They'll know there are too many variables to ensure an identical user experience across the internet. (NB Technically I am a baby). But WE's Phase II and III strategies apply to most others in the OE space, and no one is likely to want to see their domain integrated with another, even through many are simply duplications, so we'll need to think laterally (literally). The common need = developing Real time comms which can be shared between similar groups in different domains. I think we could get some funding based on this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
