Hello all
>
> well we are finally able to trial the environment that my colleagues
> in acid have been working on in relation to aacorn. the environment
> that has been built is a response to the feedback we received from
> the survey of aacorners. the aim of this is two fold. first we want to present
and trial some methods we can use to increase activities between aacorn members.
We also want to look at what those activities might be.
The aim in this is to build on the work that John has been doing in setting up
the very good Aacorn Blog and the Aacorn website etc. We have developed this
aacorn environment as a space for us to play and start to think things through.
From an ACID perspective my colleague Markus (aka markumoto) who has been the
driving force in the making of this space will be available for the next 3weeks
to help people and answer their questions about how to do things. There is a
thread in the forum area where he can be contacted. The site will then be
available for people to keep on using without assistance from that point on.
It is important that you use firefox to access the site. it will be
unstable in internet explorer.
i do hope this is all ok and please let me know if you have any questions or
concerns. I can't emphasise enough that our focus in doing this isn't on the
technology, but rather in thinking about what it is that we would like to do
together as aacorners.
It is possible for people to invite others to come in and participate. So if
there is a fellow aacorner who you would like to trial some things with you
could use the invite feature to get them to come along.
directions for what to do are below in the space are below.
