Meadows Blog

I received this from Tom Findlay:


Hello Councillors,

I'm tryin' to put together some interesting new media tools and technologies,

Below is an advert lookin' for community volunteers to help build the meadows blog,
It might work, as three quarters of the meadows population will probably be wired

Meadows Wikipedia Project
The Meadows Blog needs writers and researchers to work on the development of a village multimedia social and historical archive and resource. Some basic content has already been uploaded from various sources, but if u take a look at it here wikipedia u can see there are, as yet, no images, prints, photographs, illustrations, paintings, or any audio, or film so far. So lots of digging to do...

Meadow Bloggers
This is an exciting opportunity for writers or budding writers, and also for local community representatives, busy-body commentators, and even comedians to rant and rave, or articulate and unfold, their take on the Meadows and everything else... It wud be great if we cud find a good variety of engaging blogger scribes... If u can send an email u pass the technology requirement test...

TV & Radio Projects
Internet TV and Radio has arrived... two basic projects...
To make short programmes themed around the Meadows and its community.
To produce a regular monthly news broadcast about the Meadows.
