Your guide to resources that will help you put technology to work for your cause.

MANAGE YOUR DATA

> Having trouble integrating data from different sources? Read NTEN's Report on Open APIs [1] to find out what APIs are and how they can help your data repositories talk to each other.

> Or you might want to create your very own data mash-up. ProgrammableWeb makes it seem almost too easy [2].

CHOOSE A CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

> If you're looking for a new CMS, check out the Content Management Matrix, [3] where you can compare and discuss your options.

USE A WIKI

> Wikis are "easy to use, but hard to describe". See Common Craft's video "Wikis in Plain English" [4].

CREATE A PODCAST

> Scott Williams of Community IT Innovators has written a white paper on podcasts [5]. The section on how to create podcasts is based on John Wall's NTC 2007 session. You can see the session materials here [6].
