Perking up the interest of both developers and educators
If the idea of tool developer / educator interaction is a good one, should we directly invite developers of software used (or of potential use) by members to join CR2.0 who might not know about the community? My role has not been to reach out to developers to join CR2.0 and this group? Should it be?
Were there a number of developers represented here and CR2.0 members were actively informed about them, do you believe members would be more interested in keeping up with news and activities made available to them? Given the non-commercial restrictions that Steve Hargadon has laid out for vendors use of the site, how best can vendors be asked to participate?

Hi Skip, I think we should invite developers to join, and have invited a couple although only one accepted the invitation. Notwithstanding, I would think that interacting with potential clients, ie. educators must be of value to the developers, they are getting "air time" even when the non-commercial restrictions are taken into account. Would members be more interested in keeping up with news and activities made available to them? I'm not sure about that, but it would certainly make it easier to keep up with the news, one rss feed for all instead of subscribing to a seperate feed for each company.
How best can vendors be asked to participate? My first thought is that they should be asking questions and listening, reading, finding out how their product could be improved, finding out what teachers need.

Hi, Skip
That sounds a good idea.
I have also read another thread you have posted here and left a reply to it.
Your invitation post is a good starting point here but honestly speaking, I think there are little chances to get interactions with common end users if more and more verdors are joining.
I am just wondering if there is a better way to do it. -
