No more hiding away… DimDim

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Today I decided to check out ELWiki to see what Ian and Steve is up to. Well worth a check every now again. I love the new Medusa server and all the OpenSource applications!!!

To my delight I saw that they now have a DimDim implementation. Those of you who are members of the Erudite ELFs group on Facebook would’ve seen me posting about DimDim on the groups’ page (Nov 5, 2007). For those of you who missed it, here is what I had to say:

“An open source colaboration system that rivals most commercial implementations. BEST of all, it has smooth integration with Moodle. I’ve been playing around with it a bit today on our medusa server. It’s a bit flakey, but once I get used to it, I’ll invite you guys to join me in a live session :)”

That was then, this is now: Originally found hidden away in our UB Moodle sandbox, DimDim was quite hard to use and required a bit of manual labor to get it working perfectly, NOW HOWEVER, we have a stand-alone DimDim implementation. If anyone wants to give it a go, pop me an e-mail, I’d be happy to show you how it works :)

If anyone is using DimDim already, post a comment and let me know… I’d love to learn from you!
