Distributed Swarm Intelligence in Action.
If ants can do it, you folk can too.
A "static alphabetical snapshot" of the current online bibliography is
to be seen here,
http://raven.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/sdg/biblio/
And from there you can browse and search to your hearts content. This is
created by input from individual SDG members! This current offering is
a static snapshot which does not automatically update to reflect new
records, but making such an update into an automatic thing is my top
priority right now.
Anybody who is an SDG member can go to their personal page, bring it up
to date, and then when the page is redrawn, a button "update
bibliography" button should appear. If you have password trouble, email
me.* Follow that new bilio button and you can input references to things
you write, or references to things other people write. When your
personal page is updated, the things you claim you authored will
automatically be listed. I have tested it by entering about 1/2 of the
SDG publications list that I got from Alex Lancaster. I will eventually
finish it, unless some of you log in and start entering your own stuff!
If you go and see that I've already entered one of your records, you can
go into the biblio tool and "claim ownership" so that item will show up
in your personal page. ALSO, if you email me, I will use the "transfer
ownership" option to put that record under your control for
update/revision. If you see a reference that is wrong or superceded,
please let me know.
I've been using this software a lot for about 9 days and don't expect a
lot of trouble. I am humble, though, and thank James Marshall for
testing and exposing some bugs.
This biblio scheme started with a program called OBAS: Online
Bibliograpy Assistant, but it required a complete overhaul/redesign and
so I'm trying to think of a new name. Two current contenders are
"FrankenVita" and "ResumeBuilder". (The "Resume Builders" were a
student political party at KU that ran for office on the platform
stating that student governance is a joke intended only to inflate
student resumes, and it was their turn for the pleasure! They promised
to challenge the chancellor in a game of Trivial Pursuit.) If you have a
good idea for a name, email me.
*In case you try to revise your SDG page and your password does not
work, don't worry, just send me an email. While I was testing some
changes last week I damaged a few passwords and had to reset them. But
now everything is OK!
