Hello

Wondered what peoples views were on the bibliography system and how they would perhaps like it to develop?

Categories and Taxonomy

Lindsay — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 06:55:28 +0000

Hello

I've added a a couple of categories to the content terms in Categories and also added a few descriptions and synonyms. Wondered if anyone would like to add to this or edit any of the terms and descriptions that I've put in?

thank you armin for establishing this plattform and inviting me to participate here at "the next layer". First of all some words about myself ...

I'm coming from Salzburg and have writen my diploma thesis about free networks as pratice of social selforganization. Therefore I've done some interviews with net activists from the Djurslands.net in Denmark, the OLSR-Experiment (Freifunk) in Berlin, Julian Priest and last but not least Armin. I'm also member of the net culture platform subnet (http://www.subnet.at), located in Salzburg.

blogger API and del.icio.us rss feed block

Hello world:
The already configured module called "blogger api" has a kind of hard to get feature really useful:

The little image at the right of the rss blocks now allows you to quickly enter a review on your "research journal".

This way you can quickly pick the items from your (or other's!) rss feeds and create a review of them.

To be done (updated)

News, Bugs and Bugettes

minor bugettes

* the modules footnotes and biblio have been installed; the according tags are 'fn' and 'bib' but so far ~~I have not got the tags working yet.~~ The footnotes are working now, now you can use the fn tag to create numbered footnotes at the bottom of an article. You need to switch the 'Input format' to 'full html' to do so. The 'bib' tag probabloy also works, the biblio module as such has always been working, so you can enter bibliographic references into the text with the bib tag, which also go into a shared database. This rocks!

User-Designed Software

I've been interested in the idea of user-designed software for some time, and what I've seen recently of drupal sharpens the question a bit, and maybe brings it into reality.

Actually, I consider myself to be a user who, though necessity and personal interest, can write just enough code to satisfy my personal requirements for tools.

Magazine or Community

admin — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 12:28:29 +0000

I would like to propose to think about the following: wouldn't it be interesting to develop this project along the lines of building a research community?

In this regard, two things come together, the need of creating high quality content with a level of editorial involvement, and the maybe sometimes contrasting need of being 'open' as a group of people who use this site all self-motivated and to their own ends.
