DRAFT: PLEASE COMMENT JOVAN/VLADA Re: [governance] May consultation: IGC input RP and access

[Tim Davies]

On a technical level it would help if the programme was managed in a
structured form online.

The last two years I've tried to write custom code which reads the Excel
timetable that the Secretariat post, and make it available as an online
timetable (e.g. at http://igf2011.diplomacy.edu/schedule/2011-W40) that can
be updated as soon as the official Excel timetable is, but having a better
platform and process to manage changes would be really helpful. Sometimes
changes can't be avoided, but at least a list of recent changes, and making
sure any screens or websites displaying the timetable are able to easily
draw on a central copy would be helpful.

More widely, I'm currently trying to work out how to develop the social
media aggregator tool (http://igf2011.diplomacy.edu/) for 2012, and very
keen to try and link this closely with RP...

All the best

Tim
