8e. Need to explore 'Mirrors' for TN.org: core data: all Directories,

secondary data: forums, blogs, news etc.

8f. National sites as mirrors for each other?

Jim meeting with Carl (US) to discuss enabling initiatives to

register on a local site which is integrated with the main TN initiatives directory. This will be a key to this I'm sure, and the bigger 'how to get projects to sign up from their own sites too' question (Jim I'll explain in our skype later today). I've been thinking about this in terms of the initiatives directory and I have thought of a couple of options, one simple and still centralised and one more complicated and distributed (of course there are many more options in-between):

Give national hubs admin access to add initiatives to the network site. Make a selective Mysql dump of the tables needed to import the initiatives into another Drupal site available for mirroring purposes.

Sort out a XML format for the initiatives data and a way to dump and import this from Drupal and other CMS's as required. Put the XML data in a git repo and have each site update their version of the repo. We then sort out a way to merge the changes between repos and keep them all upto date.

OK, what the way forwards with this?

worth bringing up in skype tomorrow. Related to #262. Also, here's a question: which national hubs could we have this sort of relationship with? The US definitely, so they're a first point of call, but are any other national hubs in a technically advanced enough situation to accept a dump of data from us?

milestone Phase 4 deleted

downgrading in lieu of potential changes to #262 (ie we may not share data after all)...
