MDD/Weavers

Project "MDD TEAM WWWEAVERS"

Goal: To develop an MDD web-team concept (See definition of terms and KokHeong's challenge/charge, below)

Note: Al' Bailey wrote the initial version. Neal McBurnett put it in wiki format. Everyone now gets to evolve it as they see fit.

INTRODUCTION: The DILEMMA

In response to the MDD Board's inspired decision to (re)organize provision of MDD services under the SA structure and subsequently to employ the MDD website as 'A' major resource for resource advertising and deployment, (WE) need to strengthen, expand and reorganize the website development/maintenance processes/resources.

This is herein interpreted to include the need to develop a "team" of webpage "weavers"; in order to distribute not only the workload, but (more significantly) to distribute the several components of responsibility among them, according to component function.

It is further interpreted to mean we shall sustain a level of humor, appropriate to the gravity of our misssion and responsibilities. :-)

POSSIBLE MODES for Teamember(weaver) Support

(tentative thoughts/ideas for discussion/consideration; Let's add to and explore the possibilities.)

1. Subdivide development/maintenance according to individual SAs. Assign one (or more) SAs to each weaver for SA Webroom development/maintenance. (Hot prospects are CCB and JM)
2. SA Webroom Development Consultant/developer
   1. Wiki (or other) resources wrt specific SA needs/???
   2. Alternative webroom organization structures [ie. pilot demos for/with select SA(s)]
   3. ??
3. MDD Resources Consultant/Developer: Coordinate with Office to organize/post/maintain content.
4. ????? This is a very short list; Surely, we can do better!
