Gordon thanks to you and Bill on this. I'm at this moment working on the notes for the At-Large Social Media Strategy which I'll hope to post to the list in a few hours In the meantime, you and anyone else can go and the TTF wiki. I've done a rough template of how I think we should document the communication and collaboration software tools At-Large uses for Skype at https://community.icann.org/x/nAsQAg Are these headings/sections good enough? Do we need more? Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh P.S Skype userid is trinidadtobagocomputersociety On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 2:52 PM, Gordon Chillcott <gordontc@look.ca> wrote:
Dev:
With apologies for the long period of silence.
Bill and I have begun to form our examination of Instant Messaging for At-Large. Our current emphasis is on Skype, since this is the most commonly used messaging tool in At-Large (except for the chat facility in Adobe Connect, which is used to some effect during meetings)
We have identified some concerns with Skype – among these are: - the use and effectiveness of in-line translation tools; - Skype's use in various Operating System Environments. Documentation and help is readily available for Windows and some has been found fo r Mac/OS installations. Documentation exists for for Linux, Android and the Ipad and Iphone, but it is inconveniently located on the Skype website; - integration of translation tools in various OS environments.
We have begun to put together a group inside our ALS to help us in the first part of this work We will actively go out to the rest of the Task Force for further help once we have a better view of what needs further study (and documentation). In the meantime, however, we ask any member of the Task Force who wishes to please get in touch with either of us – fresh eyes are always welcome!
