The MegaMeeting

Had the web-dev mega meeting this morning, aimed at taking a step back an assessing what we do and how we do it without the focus on technical detail of our weekly meetings.

Many good ideas, including cancelled-lecture text messages to students (a pro-forma version could be changed to students' printer credit account, free-form messages would have to be charged to the sending department); personalised timetables and directions to lecture rooms to be viewable via WAP; how to better support students in vacations; support load and how to help the helpdesk help people with SiteBuilder; the merits of design documentation and teamwork in reducing falling-under-bus risk; how to rearrange the cubicle space to get all the Java devs together; and much more.

All the new project ideas sounded strongly MLE-ish. Which means that I must be in charge of them all, obviously. Rar!
