Re: [Tikiwiki-users] [Tiki-devel] September Webinar + Knowledge-Exchange Network within Tiki?

[Xavier de P. <xav...@vh...>]

Hi all:

Shall we set that if no more than 1 person is added to schedule of a 
Webinar, the Webinar will be postponed for the next month (unless 
otherwise explicitly noted in the Webinar page?)

I feel sorry for the confusion of these users.

In my own case, I didn't set my name in the schedule because this 
academic semester I'm rather busy with new teaching (plus my standard 
full-time job) and not much time left, so that I don't expect to be able 
to take an active role in the Webinar, but just a passive attentdant in 
most of them (in case that I can attend, which I coulnd't at all yesterday).

I still think that the Webinars can be very useful, but maybe interested 
people (users) should take a more active role, at least to say in 
advanced what would they like to teach and learn reagarding Tiki (he he, 
like what we do in the free Knowledge-Exchange networks in Catalonia!  :-)
But as you can imagine, this involves that anyone willing to learn 
something, they need to offer teaching something else to others.

I presume that the recently developed feature TrackerCalendar ( 
https://doc.tiki.org/PluginTrackerCalendar ) might be helpful here, (as 
it is for our local Knowledge-Exchange networks aside of Tiki), combined 
with linking two trackers: knowledge offers, and knowledge demands, 
within the "Tikiverse". :-)

If that sounds useful to at least a few users interested to participate 
in that "Knowledge-Exchange network" withinin Tiki (have someone teach 
them what they want to learn in a Webinar, and train others how to use 
what he/she knows to use and they want to learn), I might get sometime 
from the following weekends to set this up in t.o for instance.

Opinions?

Xavi
