Are you a communications professional working on sustainable development? Do you use the Internet in your work?
If so, visit the SD Webworks [Sustainable Development Webworks], a new online community sharing knowledge about using the Internet more effectively for sustainable development.
Issues the SD Webworks will address include:
* What policies, practices and attitudes help organizations get information to the Web quickly and reliably? When do you need to hire staff and when is it better to outsource?
* How do you get started developing your organization's first Web site? How do you redesign the 5,000-file monster your site has become?
* What are some of the best sustainable development Web sites and what can we learn from them?
* How can you use multimedia, forums and databases more effectively? What resources are required to create more advanced Web products and services?
* How do you market your online products and services? How do you know what impact they are having on decision- making?
We'd love to hear your experiences...successes as well as disappointments. The SD Webworks includes both a Web site and a discussion forum.
