[edit] Objectives

  • Communicate GNC's purpose and activities through a web presence
  • Be the authoritative site for people and organizations in Needham interested in energy and the environment
  • Attract people and organizations to join and participate in GNC
  • Facilitate collaboration among GNC members and organizations for project execution


[edit] Assets in Place


  • Domain names:
    • greenneedham.org - Primary Domain
    • greenneedham.com
    • greenneedham.info


[edit] Possible tools and resources

  • GNC Wiki and the information in it
  • Blog software - e.g. WordPress
  • CSS-based tool for basic site construction?
  • MCAN site
  • Available server (Apache, PHP, MySQL, MediaWiki, WordPress) for initial testing and use
  • Web site hosting with additional software available - $70/year


[edit] Requirements

  • Easy-to-use, ongoing mechanism for keeping information current
  • Identify resources (people) to take responsibility
  • Collaborative structure to share workload as well as allow decentralized structure for initiatives and projects


[edit] Conclusions and next steps

  • Implement a wiki as a primary collaboration, planning and information tool
  • Develop an initial structure which early adopters can further develop
  • Get early adopters to place content and use the wiki for organizing teams/groups
  • Explore how to most effectively and quickly enable and motivate GNC participants to use the wiki - early success will snowball
  • Provide a traditional web site presence as a front end and a gateway to the wiki
  • Explore further how much content should be on the more static front end and how to more effectively move information there from the wiki
