From akrherz at iastate.edu Wed Apr 1 00:00:11 2009 From: akrherz at iastate.edu (akrherz@iastate.edu) Date: Wed Apr 1 00:00:15 2009 Subject: [SchoolNet8 News] March Stats, April Feature Message-ID: Greetings All! April Fools! Actually, I do not think I have any fools to share in this email. Just the regular monthly update with website stats and announcements. KCCI SchoolNet8 Homepage: http://www.kcci.com/schoolnet8/ Or directly at: http://www.schoolnet8.com SchoolNet8 Notes ================ With Jason Parkin having been laid off from KCCI, these past few months have been difficult to keep up with site maintenance needs. The weather certainly has not helped either! There is hope on the horizon. KCCI has allocated some dedicated resources to help address SchoolNet needs in the coming weeks and months. Hopefully we can get all issues resolved before summer. March Website Stats =================== The attached PDF contains website stats for March 2009. If you have any questions, please let me know. New features for April ====================== I was sort of surprised that I did not get any feedback on the new website homepage from a few months ago. This month, I am trying something a bit different on the school's site main page. This one: http://www.schoolnet8.com/site.phtml 'Live' observations stream to the webpage and dynamically update the observation listing on the right hand side. Your schoolnet site sends an observation every 6 seconds or so, so I created a mechanism to stream these to the webpage in near real time. I'll be curious to hear any feedback on this new feature. If it goes over well, next month will feature some more 'live' components. :) Well, that is it for this month. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Development is driven by your needs.
