[school-discuss] SchoolForge site is up with new features!

[Justin <jriddiough@xxxxxxxxx>]

The new website is now online, with discussion forums and a place to 
post and comment on news articles.  The fun part now will be finding 
ways to bring activity and users to visit the site.  I'll be dedicating 
a lot of time this upcoming weekend to cleaning up any loose ends, so if 
you have an opportunity to take a look around the site - let us know 
what you think.  I'm very happy to see it get to this point, it's taken 
awhile to get here but all the time spent with Drupal is really starting 
to pay off - feel like I'm finally getting started :)

Some of the things I've been reading up on lately, and that will play a 
part in the future of SchoolForge would be: RDF, Learning Patterns, and 
LOM-Metadata.  I'm going to start learning about RDF through working 
with the freshmeat feeds, which I think will give a good place to start 
looking at possibilities with LOM.  It all seems like it's going to come 
together very interestingly, even if I'm not sure exactly how yet :)  
Just sort of the general direction. 

I'm also going to probably have to jump in and start learning/using 
subversion to work with the code.  I haven't used versioning systems 
before, so if anyone has any thoughts beyond what I'd likely find 
through a google search - I'd be happy to hear :)
