Welcome to Digital Villages PBwiki!

About fifteen years ago we started to plan for a new business venture were digital communication and new technology would play a central role. November 22, 2010 decision to continue with this work. Finnish language microblogging in Qaiku. English Digital Villages microblogging in Twitter.

The new Biotouch project started the last week of May 2008 and has been completed. We will continue to discuss the results in various themes.

• What can you do with a wiki? Take a tour and use pre-made templates
• How do you create a new page? 2 easy ways
• Learn how to use bold, italics, tables, and more: The wiki style page
• Share this wiki with others. It's easy

Collaboration

We've enjoyed using PBwiki as a free collaborative web-based wiki environment; you can easily set up and do all your items there, and you can make it private under a password.

If you upgrade from the free to the paid edition, it's cheaper than Backpack.

When working with a small group of people to start up a small business or a new project. You would like to setup a website where to do most of the following:

• post documents
• manage action items
• log open questions
• track issues
• post communications (maybe a message board)

   

There are free web-based solution capable of some or all of these items. You might like to host it at home so it doesn't need to be from a service provider.

If you want to host it yourself and have PHP5, you can use activecollab. It does pretty much everything basecamp does, and you own the backend: Active Collab. 

• We've used 37 Signals Basecamp as a project managment tool. Check it out at Basecmap
• At the end of the year I'm collecting some new URL's. Here is Katrium from Estonia.

Basecamp is free for one project for an unlimited number of users. Its easy to use, and has assignable To-do's, Messages with Comments, automatic email notification for participants & interested parties, Milestones, integrated chat (all messages retained), collaborative document authoring, RSS Feeds, file uploading, etc.

Basecamp is simple, yet flexible enough to work how you do, unless your group likes/needs the big-project management capabilities of something like MS Project.

Early

I'm in the habit of getting to the office early, around seven-thirty, not because I'm overworked and not because my days are filled with public appearances and office appointments, but because I enjoy a quiet cup of coffee and the solitude.

• Office safety procedures needed

Starting early, looking for early warning signals, being alert to innovations in our field, I can gain greater functionality into our reporting data, identify emerging trends before they happen, and empower our new and existing customers.

Start

I like the stillness of this place before the day starts. It's a great time for taking journeys into new territories and innovative ideas.

• Hire a blond secretary

The system understands the context of what you are doing, finds relevant information and automatically brings it to you in a flexible way and neatly packaged.

• What do you want?
• What do you need?
• Get active, get started
• Get around doing the things you have to do

Organizing

I spend at least an hour a each day organizing and working with the Social and Innovative Collaboration case. Things tend to get back to normal when the phone is slowly beginning to ring more.

Brains

My eyes won't focus and my brain won't slow down. I'm thinking at dozen questions at once, but I can't ask them all. There are many things I'd like to know, but many things I shouldn't. I honstly thought they are now in Singapore or Australia.

Speculation

It's impossible to tell how much of this is my collegues specualtion and how much was really presented to her during the seminar. I guess we are speaking about a rather big deal. Lots of money. Maybe. She knows it would be plenty.

Curious

I'm curious about the deal. We could take our cut up front. The sum has already been figured out. My mouth remains dry. Every slight sound causes me to jump. This is exciting. We both withdraw into our thoughts, and stare at various items on the table. How did they get in touch with us in the first place?

Thoughts

Two thoughts emerge from the fog. There's no doubt that the people we are approacing over Skype really wanted to open the door to serious discussion about the upcoming deal. The other one is related to...

Information Flow

Historically, choosing a packaged enterprise application (e.g., enterprise resource planning or ERP, customer relationship management or CRM, or supply chain management or SCM) or assessing the benefits of existing systems began and often ended with analyzes of the costs to implement, deploy, and maintain them.

• Reporting data into interactive dashboards, data presentations, forecast models

• We want to understand the impact of current and planned applications on the network, to get information on traffic flows that was once impossible to get is now readily available.
