Jim,

Enjoyed the discussion on web2.0 on Saturday–thanks for adding the list here, as well. I’ll work on lurking less…

Thanks for the kind words, Jim.

And thank you so much for your resources. As I said before, I was hoping to take your seminar. This makes up for it!

Ross, thanks for the suggestion about Ning…we have used it for some presbytery stuff in the past. Good resources.

John, great to meet you and have your participation and ideas during the presentation. Your questions and challenges about technology can be kept in check by remembering, as you suggest, that all of this is about building community. If that goal is kept at the forefront, then the web2.0 tools will be used to serve that goal….we’re not doing this stuff just to use the tools but to serve the purpose of building community.

Hi Jim,

Good list of resources. You might like to add Ning to the group (if you haven’t considered it already). It would be a great way for groups to work on projects, discuss ideas. I’m using it with my students at Deakin University here in Melbourne, Australia.
