Suggestions
for next steps
Three
main strands emerged from the discussion:
-
More
help is needed for champions and members of the
digital community, with a support service, help
desk, trouble shooting, and clear set of procedures
for champions.
-
More
planning is needed to make sure developments meet
the needs of the islands, through additional research
and visioning workshops.
-
Priority
developments to make use of the technology should
include island websites, ecommerce to help businesses,
and further development of the 2000Friends site
that already provides forum for community members.
Additional
suggestions will be developed following circulation
of the draft report. Issues to consider include:
- Further
awareness raising and community engagement
- Technical
support and trouble shooting
- Champions
support
- Continuing
training
- Visioning
and planning
- Portal
content development
- DIY
user and community project development
- Sustainability
and community ownership
