Collaboration Tools

File:Placeholder

The aim of this page is to provide a focal point for anything which can help the EVOKE community collaborate more effectively. Please add anything you think may be useful!

Community Collaboration Building Project

A project team has formed to help expand the Evoke network's collaboration tools. The purpose of the project is to create, improve, and promote community collaboration tools. The project leader is, Evoke [Agent] and Mentor, Andrew Perry, who is also maintaining the project homepage.

Thus far, the action steps for project include:

Create - Page templates and content on the evoke wiki. (this was suggested in a discussion (here)

Improve - Community tagging standards (bellow)

Promote - Evoke facebook group (here) - Evoke Zotero group, a collaborative research notebook (watch video here, join the group here)

Uses

Facebook can be used for:

• mass messaging (to all members of a group)
• organizing events
• sharing links/pictures/videos on the wall

Standardised Tag System

This has grown from the following discussion thread: [1]. So the idea is to start a standard list of tags to make clustering of similar or related content more effective than it is currently.

The suggested format is to keep the Game related tags as UPPERCASE (for Missions etc), but switch everything else to ThisFormat (so no space between words and each word with a capital letter). Avoiding spaces prevents the tags being listed separately in the main blog tag list (http://www.urgentevoke.com/profiles/blog/list) and should make searching more accurate.

Zotero

Zotero Evoke Network group

Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free (and opensource), easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, cite, and share your research sources. It lives right where you do your work—in the web browser itself. Evoke Agents can create an account to keep track of their Evoke research individually or alternatively (and highly recommended) join the Zotero Evoke Network group to collaborate with others in collecting and sharing information.
