The semester begins!

With the new semester comes my return to blogging. Since my new office takes me to a different building from the departments with which I work, my mission is to spend a little time sitting in the hallowed halls of Trinkle and Combs to bump into the faculty I work with. Between bumpings, it's blogging time!

First up is the launch of a community site for our Spanish majors, a project initiated by Dr. Elizabeth Lewis. The mission is to provide some more ways for the students to make contact with each other and with the faculty. We're using Drupal, with the organic groups module and the event module to foster people talking and meeting together, and images and audio modules to provide some more fun stuff. Hardly needs to be said, but I'm taking lots of cues from the academic Drupal-meister D'Arcy Norman.

I'm looking forward to a lot of neat and unexpected interactions coming out of it...perfect blogging material!

And...I'm finally claiming my blog with technorati....
