Editor's Notes
- #3 Clients can be located within the Parl building (Committee staff and Members on sitting days) or anywhere within Victoria, so we need to provide services and resources both face-to-face and remotely. Information here is a highly valued commodity, whether or not you have it and how you use it contributes substantially to the success or failure of Members.
- #10 Demo of: Feedback form Absence board – show the use of widgets (date picker, timeline) Broadcast News – RSS feed and permanent URL at bottom of page (perhaps show how the code is put in to the DB/Textworks database) RKB – shows live editing and updating via the web as well as tag clouds and dynamic tables Media Releases – talk about live updating and harvesting, tooltips, (perhaps sematic tags if we have time) MetaSearch – shows asynchronous searching Statistics – visualisation of stats from DB/Textworks
