Welcome to the group, folks. I'm using this space to collect ideas from our community that will help shape the next round of development for the WebJunction site. Please add your thoughts-either in an existing or new thread.

Keep in mind that requests here may not show for weeks or even months (if at all), so:
  • If you have a need for immediate assistance, please visit the Help and Support section of the Member Center.
  • If you think you have a found a bug, visit the feedback discussion.
  • Be sure to utilize the Frequently Asked Questions document. If you have suggestions or answers, make sure you post your comments there!

In this forum, ll try to comment on your ideas (feasibility, timeline, etc), as well as keep you up-to-date on our development plans. We'll also be using and updating a feature updates document that will provide insights on coming (monthly and farther out) site builds.

This forum might shake out into a more formal process down the road, but this should hold us for now. Again, enjoy exploring the next WebJunction; I welcome your ideas for the next-next WebJunction! emoticon

This site really needs integrated social network tools such as present on Ning. See my network on library20.ning.com. I am disappointed in the lack of them here. WebJunction should also adhere to the open standards for social networking.emoticon

Hi Bill,
I've looked through your Ning site previously, but just now joined so I'm eager to play around with it. In the meantime though, could you outline what specific social tools or features you'd like us to include in future updates?

Linking or cross functions with other social networks. RSS feeds that work correctly in Google Reader. Greater interactivity and ability for the user to change arrangement of their page and to add gadgets to it.

Integrations with other social networks are part of the long-term wish list for WebJunction, as we all use a variety of them and it would be great to try and link them together in some fashion. However the initial focus obviously is on getting our own site and functionality right, so integration has taken a backburner.

RSS feeds in Google Reader - good feedback, I hadn't personally tested that. If you have a specific feed or scenario you tried that didn't work, would you mind emailing it to support@webjunction.org? It's how we're tracking and prioritizing any fixes.

Page layout and gadgets - This is a yes and no sort of thing. While we do offer the "My WebJunction" functionality it's a long way from a truly customizable homepage like NetVibes or iGoogle offer. Closer (in spirit at least) to a LinkedIn or FB home page, minus the 3rd-party FB applications option. Again, on the wish list but for us, baby steps first. emoticon
