Hi. I've been incredibly busy lately sorting out Mindcloud web stuff...attempting to make the thing somewhat cohesive and presentable before O-week, at which time I hope to start a club at Flinders. I had no this task would absorb nearly all of my available hours, and there were an awful lot of those.
Here's what I've been doing:
- Making the interface for mindcloud.org (the "Main Interface"): this has required me to gain mo skills in graphic design, HTML and CSS. This has consumed the bulk of my time.
- Setting up the forums at Forklift: the actual setup wasn't too bad, but trying to muck around with PHP-MySQL code in order to have the system randomly allocate ranks has proved to be a big time-sink.
- Trying to get a category search tool for the wiki - at the moment there is no way to search for various combinations of categories, which limits the use of the Content Library.
Stuff that I still need to do in the next day or two:
- Find a way to get cheap badges made for fundraising
- Re-engineer the Main Page of the wiki to be more revealing of the content therein (actually it would be good if somebody else could have a crack at it)
- Gathering at least ten Flinders students so we can start a Mindcloud Club at that university
- Improving the "news" page at the mindcloud.org main interface
Lesser priorities:
- Design new skin(s) for the wiki and forums that are similar in style to the main interface. Kind of a "consistent look and feel" thing.
It's not too bad, really. Better than spending all of that spare time playing video games and finding new ways to scratch my arse...
