5 Best Practices for Applying Game Mechanics to Your Website
Craig Ferrara is a senior gaming & UI expert at Gigya, where he designs the integrations of Gigya's technology into clients' websites. Gigya makes sites social by integrating a suite of plugins like Social Login, Comments, Activity Feeds, Social Analytics and now Game Mechanics into websites. Conversations about game mechanics — the rules that govern how enjoyable a game is — are changing. Formerly a topic mostly discussed by game designers and gamer geeks like myself, gamification is now part of the business discussion as marketers look to apply it to websites. One concept that has remained constant, regardless of who is having the conversation, is to identify ways to keep players engaged and games fun. This applies to your site as you encourage social user participation via gamification tactics. 1. Increase content generated by users on your site. For example, reward top commenters, but also look for alternative ways to reward commenting on pages. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Social software
Type of software Social software, also known as social apps or social platform includes communications and interactive tools that are often based on the Internet. Communication tools typically handle capturing, storing and presenting communication, usually written but increasingly including audio and video as well. Interactive tools handle mediated interactions between a pair or group of users. They focus on establishing and maintaining a connection among users, facilitating the mechanics of conversation and talk.[1] Social software generally refers to software that makes collaborative behaviour, the organisation and moulding of communities, self-expression, social interaction and feedback possible for individuals. Another element of the existing definition of social software is that it allows for the structured mediation of opinion between people, in a centralized or self-regulating manner.

Open source software for permaculture
Main > Food and Agriculture > Permaculture Main > Software Proposal: I would like to see a piece of open-source software that helps with permaculture design. It would be an expert system doing the work of a permaculture designer, for free. Maybe something like this already exists and I don't know about it. A fairly simple, but very helpful, algorithm would go something like this: You input things you want to grow. Additions: I think the above is a good start, but to get a really accurate modeling of a permaculture patch one has perhaps to do some more magic. be able to cope with micro climate measurement to find suitable niches for plants on the area (the overall climate is of course important, but the affections of micro climate are often overwhelming). Edit We could look at the USGS data collection standard operating procedure for a good how-to guide on this. Similar Proposals[edit] Who knows Semantic MediaWiki enough to help us get this going?

Project management
Practice of leading the work of a team to achieve goals and criteria at a specified time The objective of project management is to produce a complete project which complies with the client's objectives. In many cases, the objective of project management is also to shape or reform the client's brief to feasibly address the client's objectives. Once the client's objectives are established, they should influence all decisions made by other people involved in the project– for example, project managers, designers, contractors and subcontractors. Ill-defined or too tightly prescribed project management objectives are detrimental to the decisionmaking process. PERT and CPM are very similar in their approach but still present some differences. Project management types [edit] Project management methods can be applied to any project. Common among all the project management types is that they focus on three important goals: time, quality, and cost. Approaches of project management Critical path method
Updates | Global Service Jam
It's over. Global Service Jam 2014 is over. This is the ninth time we have written those words, as they (or something very like them) have closed every Jam since the first Global Service Jam in 2011. In those three short years, the Global Jams - Service, Sustainabillity and Gov - have grown and evolved. Where three years ago we fought to persuade people to stop discussing and start building, now our “doing not talking” mantra can remain unsaid. That is not our doing. No-one makes a cent out of the Jam (except perhaps some local pizza shops and sticky-note salesmen). Thank you to the amazing Global HQ team who gave up way more than just 48 hours - without even getting to play. Thank you to the Secret Global Council who helped create our most innovative Secret Theme yet. But most of all, as always, we must thank the Jammers. We are tired, we are sore, we have work in the morning. Take the time to visit Planet Jam and look at some of the amazing prototypes and uploads there. P.S.
