getting to know us, and... Alastair Campbell

The weeks are really flying by here. Can't believe the blog started on Monday, and since then we've done some very useful user trials, been to the International Student Enterprise Summit (where we heard Alastair Campbell, amongst others, speak), met some cool new people and setup meetings with more, and done so much development that we're almost ready to put the site out there for general sign ups. One of the coolest latest editions is that we've adopted a more 'blog'-based approach to the activity log on the group's internal homepage (rather than boxing things up) and it's looking great. If that doesn't mean much to you it will when you sign up and see it!

Just to fill you in a bit more on our situation, we're based at the ETTC at the University of Edinburgh, UK. We're a team of four very handsome, very dedicated, very over-worked (which tends to affect the handsomeness) guys trying hard to complete the site for a launch to some friends and colleagues soon. We're all really looking forward to just putting it out there and seeing how it gets used. The aim is that it'll help the groups that use it do more together more easily, but it'll only do that well once we've heard from as many of our users as possible. Watch this space!

I wanted to go into a bit more history but it's actually time to deploy the latest version for a bit more testing before hitting the pub, so let's leave that for another post.
