Amanda just pointed me to two handy tools I hadn’t known about before. First S5 which allows you to create a presentation using XHTML, CSS, and JS. Next a handy script that lets you use and RSS feed to create a S5 presentation. I read throught the documentation – but haven’t had a chance to [...]

One individual, Sean Robinson, has put together a wiki where willing parties can sign up, offering their expertise and services to other libraries.
