Top 8 Infrastructure Priorities (determined by the Developers)

• RSS Feeds for everyone!
  
• Forums The comments below don't scale
  
• Template pages We need a standardized system for entering information about a technology
  
• Working ratings system It's broken in Plone 2.5 and in Plone 3, right?
  
• Comments This bug might go away once we get forums working
  
• Attribution How do we build something that keeps track of who posts and updates, etc.
• Email to moderators only from topic/technology page
• Automated link checker to keep bad links out of the site
  

To Add

• Data sets topic that lists all great data sets students can use. Project Gutenberg? Historical Baby Names? 
• Should this be folded into Project Inspiration to be retitled "Project Inspiration and Data Sets"?
  
• Price! Many K-12 instructors have very fixed budgets...
  
• Templates for tool pages: price, support, platform, license
• Filters/sort by feature: sort by price & suports Mac & in:Course Management
• Starter comments to get discussion rolling: don't want site to look like a ghost town to first visitors
• RSS feeds
  

To Re-check

• Visual Accessibility for the Visually Impaired
• Does the rating tool allow us to propagate the ratings from the tools page out to the topic page (for side-by-side rating comparison)?

To discuss at ACM Ed Task Force

• Does the 3rd level hierarchy really scale?
• How do we feel about industry moderators?
• Discussion of name "TechTools": does it encompass meaning? consider alternatives ie. "TechEdTools" How about CETT?
• Allow people to carve out their own 4th level pages? ie. Nifty having it's own 4th level site maintained by Nick hosted on plone
