<span><b>A</b></span><span>ctivity wall </span></div><div><ul><li><span>Can
we streamline the actvity on the activity wall in a way that eliminates
some of the noise and allows us make it more useful for showing what is
happening in courses? At the moment it pulls in a lot of general
activity.</span></li><li><span>Could be a very powerful tool</span></li><li><span>What does the community see as being important/valuable activity</span></li><li><span>One
of the changes being made this week (monday) will be the ability for
users to filter the wall, and allow users to create threaded
conversations. </span><span>-- </span><span><a href="http://pad.p2pu.org/SowTorontoDev" target="_blank">http://pad.p2pu.org/SowTorontoDev</a></span><span> -- filters have to go in before monday</span></li><li><span>Do
we want to display, by default, certain things? Or all do we want, for
example, only to have status updates or group information? </span></li><li><span>Can this decsion be made by the person who creates the group?</span></li><li><span>But what events/activities do we choose to display?</span></li>
<li><span>Zuzel will send a mail to the dev list to get feedback, but will need to implement something by Monday. </span></li></ul></div><div>

<span><b>Recap on the Toronto Dev Meeting; SoW plans</b></span></div><div>
<br></div><div><ul><li><span>Couple of meetings about SoW been held - refocusing and forward planning with Mozilla (as part of their planning activities)</span></li><li><span>What is a realistic possibility to prove that we can do web developer training? </span></li>
<li><span>In
what area are we strong, and can we match this to P2PU strengths, and
build a strong community for peer learning around this? </span></li><li><span>John will focus more on SoW and build the model that can then be used to support other skills</span></li><li><span>A content person will be brought one</span></li>
<li><span>A high-quality set of tasks will be developed which would lead to a badge at the end.</span></li><li><span>Forgot: three pronged social approach (mentors, cohorts/courses, community)</span></li><li>
<span>More detail: </span><span><a href="http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/SoWToronto" target="_blank">http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/SoWToronto</a></span></li><li><span><b>Question:</b></span><span>
If we identify a small set of features for one course will this be the
focus for now, and other badges are on the back burner? </span><span>-- </span><span><a href="http://pad.p2pu.org/badge-integration" target="_blank">http://pad.p2pu.org/badge-integration</a></span></li><li><span>In terms of functionality, the software building should cover everything. </span></li>
<li><span>Perhaps a smaller set of badges is required as a proof of concept. Erin and John and Pippa to discuss this in detail </span></li><li><span>Content
area for the tasks has not been set yet, 3 areas we are interested in,
Webmaking 101 is a possibility. If we can show that the mechanics for
earning badges is hard in the outside world it would be a win, but it's
not essential that people are able to use the badges to get jobs in the
pilot, but this is something to consider. </span></li><li><span>Overall timing: we need proof of concept by 30 August, and evidence by October. </span></li>

</ul></div><div>
</div><div><ul>
<li><span>Agenda items from last week can't be addressed this week becuase the people who propsed them are unable to make the meeting. </span></li><li><span>Suggested that if people want to add items to the agenda, they either add their name and take ownership during the meeting, or </span></li>
<li><span>send
an email to Bekka/Community with a basic outline of what they want to
say (if they can't make it) so it can be discussed, and not left on the pad. <br></span></li></ul></div><div>
