We're going forward with a July challenge meeting, and either Jonathan or I will post the final challenge on Monday. A lot of incredibly fun solutions have been proposed to Michelle's suggestion, and unless something more compelling comes along:

"I like the idea of a challenge! If I can suggest one that might be fun, and that probably has many ways to accomplish it: how about a Question and Answer section? Something where a user can post a question, and either a moderator or a user can post answers - but possibly the moderator answer always shows above other user answers or is somehow distinguished."

A couple of requirements:

  • Presentations must be Internet-accessible so we can use just one laptop to keep things quick.
  • To be guaranteed a time to present, make your commitment on the meeting reminder by July 6th.

If anyone has other ideas, please post them in the comments here. I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Excellent! I'm glad we are going through with the challenge. I was sorry to miss the meeting last night. I was busy helping my grandma get ready for the digital switchover. Indecently, those digital converter boxes create an amazing digital picture, even on a 35 year old TV! I'm interested to see what your solution is, Grant.

Cheers,

Okay, so we're going forward with Michelle's challenge for the July meeting:

Create a Question and Answer section, something where a user can post a question, and either a moderator or a user can post answers - but the moderator answer always shows above other user answers or is somehow distinguished."

Guidelines:

* Presentations must be Internet-accessible so we can use just one laptop to keep things quick.
* To be guaranteed a time to present, make your commitment on the meeting reminder by July 6th.
* Actual solutions (as opposed to theoretical ones) will be given time first.

Sounds like an interesting topic...

This sounds fascinating...I wish I could be there. Have a class on Wednesdays through mid-July. Will a list of the examples shown at the meeting be posted on this site?

Looking forward to hearing about the August challenge!
