Hi,
Reading Odder's etherpad reminded me I still wanted to send this mail.
Before and during WLM a lot of tools has been written again, the api was well written and there are some other things.
However, there is still a big part missing, and that is a proper user interface (UI). You have all kind of search options, but the average user doesn't want to change urls to do that. So I think one of the things we should aim for next year is to get a proper UI implemented.
Something to put on the agenda for coming thursday?
Regards,
Andre
I think thats what all the tools at missed opportunities show. There where a lot of different tools, some doing the same thing, some just being unknown by others. And some different because people always will have different opinions about what works. So indeed putting this tools together and linking users to all the ones relevant for them could maybe do a lot. And if the missing tools (commonist modification) are filled in maybe this can help out a lot next year. Indeed something to talk about Andre Mvg, Bas

Andre & Bas: I really *do* think that tools might be a really interesting topic to be discussed at the meeting. This is intended to be an evaluation, so we'll try to figure out what went wrong and how not to make the same mistakes in the future.
In order to do so, please be bold and update the Etherpad; don't worry if things are already there--this means only that the problems are really important and should be discussed & resolved!
Thanks in advance,
