NING thoughts for John, Kelechi and Andy May 5, 2010
Hi John, Kelechi and Andy
Some related information and thoughts on that:
We've mentioned the Fantsuam NING a couple of times recently and the implications of the end of free services.
Some related information and thoughts on that:
- I came across this forum, which may be useful http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/alternatives-1
- Dadamac.net now has CCK - which (as I understand it) is going to enable us to do all kinds of fancy stuff that we couldn't do before (managing groups and discussion lists and other things that people used NING for).
- Andy is helping me to understand the benefits and to gradually make use of them.
- Dadamac.net runs on Drupal - and FF is exploring aspects of using Open Source
- Collaborating on development of what you need (within dadamac.net) could be a useful learning experience and win-win for all involved.
Let me know what you think. (NB Your reply can be private - just for sharing amongst our selves - but this initial email will be published on dadamac's posterous, http://dadamac.posterous.com/ My posts to Posterous serve me as a kind of rough journal - covering new ideas, who I have introduced to whom, plans for First Thursdsays etc - not comprehensive but a good sample of what I am doing)
