Issues around using templates by Mind Map: Issues around using templates

1. do all research projects want the same thing?

1.1. sharing files

1.1.1. New node

1.2. commenting on files

1.3. publicising their project

1.4. New node

2. how much guidance do we have to give? e.g. what if someone sets up a discussion forum without realising how much time it takes

3. what happens if people want things that CamTools can't yet offer?

4. How practical do we have to be? Do we need to stick to what CT offers now?

5. what basics could there be?

5.1. "small research project"

5.1.1. easy to use project calendar

5.2. "website"

5.2.1. home page

5.2.2. contact us page

5.2.3. about the project page

5.2.4. incorporate project logo on every page

5.4.3. space to display worked examples

5.6.7. need way to allow people to make each page public or private, but at the same time to respect the copyright on the readings (note that we believe that scanning and uploading readings for reading groups is not covered by the scanning license??)

5.6.8. info about the convenors

5.6.9. easy way to invite people into your reading group

5.6.10. easy way to request to join a reading group mailing list if appropriate

5.7. student study group (from Umme's descriptions in the Academic Networking project)

5.7.1. info about who is a member of this study group (maybe their pictures and contact details, maybe even mobile numbers)

5.7.2. somewhere to share documents of various sorts, labelled with who contributed them and when (people )

5.7.3. maybe if you set up a study group with people, they automatically get created as members of your network

6.1.3. ENTER to add siblings

6.1.4. DEL to delete

7. should there be tips on using the different sorts of templates? e.g. "if you want to set up a reading group, here are some tips from other University members"

8. what extras could there be?

8.1. ask for help / ideas from colleagues / people in the same field e.g. CTLH-1936

8.2. way to create your website offline in editor of your choice and then host it in CamTools? (Issue would be the menu) CTLH-15216
