I just now had a chance to visit this site - it looks fantastic.

Thanks so much for the link, Emma!

Best,

Thanks Wendy!

There were so many wonderful presentations at the ABLKC, it was hard to choose. I really wanted to attend Marie Battiste's presentation but it was scheduled at the same time that one of mine was!

Thanks for writing,
June

We have touched on bandwidth, but we also need to explore the other factors that should be taken into consideration when building this planned online resource.

We would like to hear from you about what you think would be important to consider for:

a) content
b) design and layout of the site
c) any particular software (including open source) that you would recommend using.

Happy Easter to all!

This is certainly an issue - at the most recent ICT Summit 2008, this was an important consideration. Indeed, plans and some movement has been made to connect all First Nations communities but we have a long way to go.

Bandwidth is one consideration, especially when dial-up is used. Individual computers are also another consideration. If people buy even the least expensive computer on the market nowadays, most are equipped to handle video and other multimedia - but if the computer is not new, that could also be a contributing factor.

Great discussion!
