5 things for the week
Another bank holiday week with just 4 working days so not everyone will have 5 things this weekAlex
1, A document on the benefits of revisewise, and a nice little table setting out all these benefits in a nice accessible format so everyone here can see the benefits without having to know revisewise in detail
2, Working on the WODC rules and Code of Conduct
3, tested the new comments system on the site, looks good, perhaps david will write a blog post on how it all works and whats better about it compared to the old system - if not I will do one next week
4, a couple of ideas about how to improve revisewise, one should be pretty easy to do the other is probably rather longer term
5, found out a bit about the university of the third age, and local older peoples forums, might be a potential source for new rapid response team members as they are people who want to keep mentaly active and focused while having a lot of time on their hands due to being retired. Writing debates might be the perfect thing for them, they are bound to have lots of ideas and opinions that may be useful and interesting for us... the question is how to get them involved.
