Release 2 and Beyond
There are many Web 2.0 features that are available on our platform. We want to implement the necessary elements and not overwhelm our community with too many features. Our goal is to identify relevant features and rollout for observation and comment. The following concepts are in planning stages and will be released shortly after the summit:
- Adjust "look and feel" and explore other templates. The site is very simple in nature, but we are always interested in improving the interactivity between the user and the technology.
- A corporate Wiki where researchers can add and evolve content through collaboration and sharing
- A video documentary of the 2008 Summit
- Polling features to gather general consensus on any relevant topic
- Check out the 2.0 features that are available under the "Getting Started" tab; let us know which features you would like to see implemented in VirtualCURED.
