2. Embedded delicious-style Tagged database retrieval technology
throughout the site. Possible opensource technologies include:
Scuttle.org
3. Image hosting. Obviously we would like to have something as slick
as Flickr integrated into the site but at the very least I want to
see at least the basic functionality with technologies for
uploading directly from members PC/Macs. Possible technologies:
Gallery 2, Coppermine (as used by Geoff Lawton).


A few initial thoughts:
* With PC's focus on design and diversity, projects should have
a broad range of options to customize the look of their
presentation
* You mentioned a central repository for project reports. This
would be comfortable, fast and easy, but projects should
also be able to host the material on their individual servers,
as a central server or even a grid of central servers might
just one day fall prey to Hierarchy's trappings. It is one
thing to have copies of reports in central positions which
would be able to backup the data to a secure location, but a
distributed structure would be more robust by design. Perhaps
those two organizational structures can be brought to overlap,
providing distributed security and ease of use at the same
time.

This is a good starting point. All of the above.

The intention at the PAB right now is go completely electronic.
Since we have filing cabinets full of data ATM.
All of which are unavailable to those that do not reside in Leeds, UK.
And the office is quite small, we want more people using the space/services.
Any thoughts?

Get started now with a Wiki, MediaWiki if possible or at least TinkWiki or
PMWiki.
Then you will have a repository for varied resources and can work toward
implementing a true relational database
using a dataset gleaned from the resources in your wiki. I was planning on
doing this myself with PM Wiki,
but not the DB.
