			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At <a href="http://www.thatcamp.org">THATCamp</a> 2009, several people expressed interest in building a web resource where users could upload syllabi, assignments, rubrics, and exercises and where users could share links and engage in discussions about teaching.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like an account to help build this resource, please contact me:</p>
<div style="margin-left: 1em;">georgehwilliams@gmail.com</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em;"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/georgeonline">http://www.twitter.com/georgeonline</a></div>
<p>I created a poll asking which platform should be used, and <a href="http://WordPress.org">WordPress</a> was chosen by most. If you&#8217;d like to weigh in on the issue, the poll is still open. Nothing at this point is set in stone:</p>
<p><iframe width="300" height="250" frameborder="0" src="http://www.doodle.com/summary.html?pollId=mpghb4uccx62nify"> </iframe></p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve set up an installation of WP (you&#8217;re looking at it), but also an installation of <a href="http://Omeka.org">Omeka</a>, which is well-suited to handle an archive of course materials:</p>
<div style="margin-left: 1em;"><a href="http://omeka.teachinghumanities.org">http://omeka.teachinghumanities.org</a></div>
<p>It shouldn&#8217;t be too difficult eventually to skin both the WordPress and Omeka installations the same way.</p>
<p>As I write this, it appears that everyone&#8217;s still decompressing from THATCamp and getting back into the routine of their lives. As the summer progresses, however, let&#8217;s work on building this site into what we want it to be. I&#8217;ll be offline for a few days but will return to all things Internet this coming Saturday.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and enthusiasm!</p>
