DRAFT of the request for email list infrastructure for birthing the WebCT channel into a full JA-SIG channel project.
Proposal:
Create two email lists in support of the WebCT channel project, a users list for discussing installation and usage of the WebCT channel, and a developers list for discussing development of the channel. These lists would be the starting infrastructure for discussing building out the rest of the project infrastructure, including an improved web presence for the project, binary deliverables more akin to those present in the Clearinghouse (instead of requiring checkout of source from SVN), and testing and development towards an as-good-as-it-gets release of the project.
webct-channel-user@lists.ja-sig.org
Purpose of list:
Discussion of using the WebCT channels, including those available via the Clearinghouse application and that present in JA-SIG CVS. Includes user community self-support, discussion of configuring the channels, etc.
