Thoughts on REALNEO Features

1. personal blog entry [1]

Blogs provide an excellent venue in which individuals can express
themselves personally or professionally:

•  â€œPublic Blogsâ€? should be available to the
  general public and to COIL subscribers who wish to have their Blogs made
  public.

•  â€œProfessional Blogsâ€? should be available to COIL
  subscribers who wish to control access to their Blog listings.

2. book page [2]

Book Pages provide the richest venue for professional collaboration. Thus,
Book Pages are best used for collaborative efforts, such as projects or
discussions relating to system development.

•  Book pages should be available only to COIL
  subscribers.

•  Control over who has access to Book Pages should
  be provided down to the COIL level.

3. event [3]

The Events feature should function to serve the general public and COIL
subscribers.

•  A “Publicâ€? Events calendar should be shown to
  the public, but only moderators should be able to post events to the Public
  Events calendar.

•  A “COILSâ€? Events calendar should be made
  available to COIL subscribers to REALNEO. All COIL subscribers should be able
  to submit COIL Events, but we may wish to have a COIL Moderator do the actual
  posting of events.

4. forum topic [4]

Forums provide an outstanding vehicle for public or COIL discussions.

•  A “Publicâ€? Forum should be shown to the general
  public, but only paying subscribers can post new forum topics or add comments
  to existing topics.

•  â€œCOILâ€? Forums should be provided. Some COIL
  forums may need to be accessible only to COIL members. An example of such a
  COIL would be a COIL dedicated to East Cleveland
  school children.

5. image [5]

Images obviously enrich the contents of REALNEO substantially. Separate
areas for Public and COIL images should be provided.

•  In the Public Image section, only paying
  subscribers can submit images. All image submissions should be monitored.

•  In the COIL Image section, all image submissions
  should be monitored. COIL Image sections involving minors should be segregated
  from all other Image sections and some form of consent form must be required
  for the submission of Images containing pictures of minors.

6. page [6]

Pages provide a means of presenting a personal presence on REALNEO with
a link to one’s home page.

•  In the Public Page section, only paying
  subscribers can submit pages.

•  Access to the COIL Page sections should be
  restricted to COIL subscribers. Any COIL Page section involving minors should
  be accessible only to members of that COIL.

7. poll [7]

Polls provide an outstanding means of obtaining user feedback on
REALNEO. Polls also provide an outstanding platform for conducting elections or
running user surveys.

•  For Public Polls, only paying subscribers can submit
  or participate in Polls. All poll submittals should be monitored.

•  For COIL Polls, only COIL subscribers should be
  able to access COIL polls. Poll submittals should be monitored.

8. story [8]

The Story content format is most suitable for the submittal of
articles. Drupal supports a user voting feature whereby the most popular stories
can be promoted to higher positions in the listings.

•  Public Story submittals can be made only by
  paying subscribers. All Story submittals should be monitored.

•  COIL Story submittals can be submitted only by
  COIL members. COIL Story submittals to COILS involving minors must be
  monitored.

9. weblink [9]

Weblinks provide links to other websites and pages. Thus, they can
serve as very useful directories to subject areas on the web or on REALNEO.

•  Public Weblink submittals should be monitored.

•  COIL Weblink submittals should be monitored if
  they occur in a COIL involving minors.

10. blogmark [10]

 

 

Blogmarks provide an alternate method for creating a Weblink. Thus, we may not want to include this feature. If we do include Blogmarks, they should be subject to the same restrictions as Weblinks.
