Revision as of 08:15, 18 September 2007
I've just added a 'Send message to ...' option towards the bottom of the side-bar. I used it to start this message.

Vendor Comparison Table and Change to Standard News Skeleton
Laura
I've built the skeleton for the Vendor Comparison Table that I mentioned last week and which both Paul and Andy McFarlane have requested. I'll explain to you how I envisage it working, and the table-editing code works, next week. Admin 05:25, 19 August 2007 (EDT)
I have also tweaked the Standard News Skeleton slightly, so that instead of simply repeating the headline of the news article, the template provides a link to the page that contains the article.
- Here's an example: Template:Green tech
- So the Skeleton now looks like this: Standard News Article skeleton
- This is a good example from Wikipedia which shows how the reader can use these links to take themselves from an overview document about the Anglo-Saxons to more detailed articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxons (You need to page down three or four times to see the examples.)

Vendor Comparison Table continued
Laura
I have kicked off a couple of the tables e.g. Vendor_Comparison_Table#Green_Measures_by_Vendors_to_Mitigate_effects_of_own_Operations.
- I think the best process is to scan one document at a time, and note all the environmental actitivies it contains. Then mark that document with [[Category:Scanned in 3Q07 for Vendor Comparison Table]]
so that we don't scan it again for a while.
- So far I have only scanned Accenture and the Environment.

'Facts and Stats' page
Laura
I've created a new page called Green Facts and Statistics which will contain key statistics and facts about IT and the environment. People like to be able to quote these things in presentations.
- There are a couple of links after each fact:
- <> is a link to the wiki page which was the source of the fact.
- >< is a link to the external source page for the fact.
- Feel free to add further interesting facts.
- There's a separate section that contains market research findings. Hopefully this section won't grow too big, but there is no end to people's ignorance and differences in views, so the section could explode with tedious statistics if we allow it to.
- Feel free to add more facts which contradict facts already on the page—for instance, if one source says that IT is responsible for 2% of all energy consumption, and another source says the figure is 4%.
