Working on a new site
Had some problems with the old site, so I've decided to punt and go for a change. This new site is mostly up and running, but there are a few things missing:
- Over half of the user groups are entered. I've been working alphabetically, and I did as many I could before going cray doing data entry. If your group is not listed, let me know and I'll add it as soon as I can. If you're willing to help out, then let me know that too and I'll give you an ID and you can complete the data entry.
- The listing functionality is not done. I'm trying my hand at writing some plugins here, including a nice Silverlight one that uses the data from the Events Manager plugin and shows it off using a real RIA tool
A v1 of that listing should be available this week (if all goes well and I don't run into any problems with our MSDN Event demos for next week). - The Event List that is there now is based on a couple of future events. It is possible, with all the user groups in SCD there might be some missing from that list. I'm working on figuring out the best way to show what's coming without showing EVERYTHING in the database.
I'll post more here as time goes on. I'm also looking to add some additional functionality, we'll see how that goes. T is also working on a more permanent site for us, but until that's fully baked, we'll limp along with this one - WP is not a "real" CMS, so we'll have to make due with what we have for now...
