I developed a collaborative knowledge base at work last year and had to keep adding content and reminding folks it was out there for a good six months before people started contributing regularly. It took another six months to get buy-in from management. Now it's running itself. The discussion page http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/HowToGetInternalBuyInForTWiki was a great reality check on the amount of work it takes. A few examples of how to do things in plone like set up a tclug package repository would help a lot. I see a blank, generic site right now and don't have a clue where to go from there. -- Carl _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
