I see your point about CMS being overkill.<br><br>And I also agree with you, the release cycle anchors everything.<br><br>I for one consider it a bug, not a feature, that we have this division of channels of communication, as some of the aspects you relate should be feeding each other more.<br>
<br>It is natural because of the different workflows, however I'd like to see some convergence. <br><br>I'm studying the possible use of a social networking platform (pretty much deciding on <a href="http://pinaxproject.com/">http://pinaxproject.com/</a> ).<br>
<br>If I can tweak it to fit our workflows (I'm working with local village visiting teachers to fit theirs) - in particular, i'm interested in including some sort of disconnected use (that is, for instance, getting them a "news/mailing list/new activities feed" from the social network with a USB monthly, and provide them with a way to "respond" - can be email - can be manually performed once online.<br>
<br>This is likely also the tool that will help manage the Bolivia deployment (but we will likelly have some more connectivity in Bolivia).<br><br>Looking forward to share more as things develop, looking for feedback / synergy.<br>

I tend to think that a cms is a bit of overkill for a young organization.<br>
<br>
One of my personal long term goal is to determine how we can clone SL<br>
in Local SLs by reproducing the best practices of SL on a more local<br>
scale.<br>
<br>
Developer side:<br>
1. The key component is the release cycle, ever thing else is anchored<br>
around the release cycle.<br>
2. Dynamic communication through mailing lists and irc.<br>
3. Static communication through wiki and bug tracker.<br>
Any thing else is overkill<br>
<br>
Educator side:<br>
1. Release cycle - cool new features, bug fixes<br>
2. Moodle - teachers know moodle<br>
