Structuring

Here's how I've done stuff on a wiki
http://socialmedia.wikispaces.com/

Books in Drupal aren't great ...

Anthing else?

Can we start structuring this?

Now that we can create content at will, maybe we should create a project area for this which can be structured by some kind of non-linear nav as we go along? I hate having to scroll miles down blogs to find stuff?

Thanks David!

Very very useful indeed! I'll start chewing through and get back back to you when I catch up a bit . . .

Our focus

Hannah - I think that in your last paragraph you pose the key issue for the group ... are we talking tools, or how tools can be used for collaborations and transformations. Inevitably both, I should think ... but it is the second option that interests me.
How do we do that? I think these issues only make real sense when they are in context ... where we have an idea of the people, their relationships, their history, the constraints they work under.
Can we take some examples for situations we are working in - perhaps anonymised to ensure confidentiality? Tell some stories, ask some questions? This blog-based system is a great way to do that, and to link to examples elsewhere.

PS - now posted something here http://www.technologyandsocialaction.org/node/37
