With the help of a whole cast of characters, we've got our "reference implementation" Pachyderm project server up and running. It's just a clone of SFMOMA's Making Sense of Modern Art production server, so we may need to clean out some data and media, but it's working (apparently) well. I've tried creating a new presentation... »
We've been slowly adding to the number of weblogs here at the Learning Commons. Heck, at least one of them is active, too! I wanted a way to have a single page with all of the latest posts sorted by date, from all weblogs. RSS wouldn't quite do it. It would sort first by weblog, then... »

Anyway, I've... »

Everything from a version of the Learning Commons website, to SciQ, to a bunch of other projects, were mocked up... »
I've been working on the app that manages workshop registrations here in the Learning Commons, and have been tackling one of the major problems in the current version - people can enter invalid email addresses, and may never even know they did it. They won't receive confirmation, and can't receive updates/modifications. Often, these addresses are... »
