With the Egyptian crisis at hand, and so much development on so many fronts for our membership, it was time to have a place for our communities to organize. Enter ProjectPM Commons!
- a discussion forum for rapid development of ideas
- a blog for posting updates and news
- a wiki for writing quick notes and keeping information on the situation
- a document storage and sharing area for any formal documents
- a calendar for scheduling events and demonstrations
- a shoutbox for posting quick messages and having online discussions
- a feed aggregator (for collecting information as it happens from sources like google news)
- an RSS feed of it's own, so people can follow updates conveniently
- automatic emails of updates to any of the content, so members find out about updates as they happen
Every member of the group can access and create this content. This is a huge improvement over just our IRC and typepad organization so far. And more improvements are coming!
