Announcing the Drupal Edu Initiative
NOV182009
Welcome to the Drupal Edu Initiative, a new Drupal site designed to help you share your experiences, thoughts, and advice about using Drupal in higher education.
The Initiative was born out of discussions at DrupalCamp Austinregarding the uniqueness of the higher ed web content management situation. Colleges and universities often face unusual challenges in keeping their websites up-to-date, well-organized and easy to use; we here at the Drupal Edu Initiative believe that Drupal is a key component in solving those problems, and that's why we've launched this site.
At the moment, the site simply provides a link-sharing and blogging mechanism; anyone can register, log in and share a Drupal education-related link, and users with additional privileges will be able to post articles here as well. All of this user-contributed content is then voted on by our users, so that the most helpful content floats to the top of the home page where it's easy to find.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any suggestions for features or improvements you'd like to see; meanwhile, we look forward to seeing where this initiative takes us in years to come.
