Hello all – I’m an academic (researcher and lecturer) who also has experience as a website, community and WordPress developer/administrator.  Pleasure to meet you all virtually.

I’ve noticed that there aren’t any posts in this forum in over a year.  I’m experiencing several administrative challenges, such as outdated plugins, lacking the usual tools to correct some bugs I’ve discovered, some periodic slowdowns for forums, etc. Even the invitation here does not function properly as clicking on results in an error.

I’m very enthusiastic about the Creative Commons and would love to work with you all to create an optimal enviroment our students would truly enjoy participating within. I see many great efforts and would enjoy connecting with those who are moving this project forward.

Thanks so much, Michael.

YES, we need to do an update, long overdue on the FFPP site. We need to add lots more info to the site. In fact, I’ve been attempting to add another faculty to serve as admin – Anahi Viladrich of Queens College. Do you have a guide as to how I can get this done?

Thanks so much!
Maryann

Subject: Is the commons being used or updated?

[Matthew K. Gold (he/him)]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for checking in. Yes! the Commons is being actively used — more
than ever, in fact! You may have noticed the pretty extensive redesign
process we’ve been working on over the past year — detailed on our News
blog – https://news.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ . And we have group redesigns
coming this summer.

I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been experiencing. Please report
them to our team by clicking the Help link in the upper right corner of the
site, right next to your profile icon. We’d be happy to address the plugin
issues you’ve noted and anything else that is going on.

Our longtime host, the CUNY Graduate Center, has experienced some server
instability in recent months. We’re currently exploring some alternative
possibilities, and in the meantime, we’re working with the GC’s IT
department to minimize disruption as much as possible.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out, here or via email!

Best,

Matt
Director, CUNY Academic Commons
