Of course I am up for a collaborative space. I have a new plugin that should go live Monday that might just do the trick (I’ve just been waiting for it to be tested a bit more).

@Luke & Mikhail:

If that is what you guys are arguing, then things seem just as good up at the BLSCI as they are here at UMW. Good for you two, this is the beginning of an awesome project. And if Mikhail is right, and more of CUNY catches on, then you two may have spearheaded brining one of the world’s most diverse (and I mean diverse here in all sorts of ways) educational community online. Now that’s something.

Thanks for the props, Jim.

For the record, we would have launched this project two weeks ago, but Mikhail and I were locked in a brutal fight about the text of that button on the right side of the page. He’s the boss, so he eventually won, but I valiantly argued for it to read: “Click here to get your blog on.”

Alas…

Thank you, Jim, for your kind words re: what we’ve been able to do at Baruch. Quite literally, we couldn’t have done it without you. Let me get in the long line of folks who have looked to your work w/ UMW Blogs for inspiration. We have learned much from you, Rev. We have much work to do to get our faculty and students as excited about Blogs@baruch as we are. The winds of change are blowing across CUNY and I bet that we are only the first ones to go in this direction.

Wow! I was just reading the Bava and stumbled on our featured snapshot. Cool!

I would love to start pooling resources (and ideas) with others and have been thinking about that for quite some time. Finding a central space to connect would be great. Any ideas?

Thanks for the offer on the documentation! We have very little created so far for as this has taken on a life of its own very quickly… I’m sure you know all about that. There is now a committee forming to move it from pilot to official as soon as possible — exciting!

At the same time we started this, we also started our own iTunes University site, still in pilot as well (I know, a bit crazy). I’d be more than happy to share resources on that, too, if UMW ever goes in that direction. I have a bit more documentation on that since its more complex than Wordpress, including a blog dedicated just to podcasting.

I’m really intrigued with the “bliki” idea, too. I think the latest was that integration with MU was impossible? (shame!)

I can’t find your email anywhere. You have mine, so please do get in touch!
