Back to Implementation Groups
Subgroup Members:
- Stefan Falke
- Rob Raskin
- Peter Fox
Issues to Be Addressed:
- Issues related to how we engage people; transparency; communication
- At all levels – Federation level – cluster/activity level
- How does ESIP operate?
- Pathways to participation – need description of who we are; what we do; where you might fit
- Orientations for new members – liaison with new members
- Community Engagement Committee
- Partnership Committee – follow through
Discussion:
- Motivate people to get involved; get partners to want to participate - technology is not the limiting factor
- must be able to articulate member benefits
- clusters/working groups need to meet partner needs
- wiki enabled sharing information/collaboration - met a need that was previously done by file sharing, in-person meetings, telecons, listservs - now using all together to engage many people
- AQ Cluster has used wiki extensively; in addition, now AQ AIP using Google Sites
- stay open to embracing new technologies as they evolve
- The Wiki Is...
- Archival function
- Anyone can edit/add
- Information delivery - dyanmic content (near real-time; shared content)
