Distribution of data

[soap108]

I'd like to start a brainstorming thread on ways to distribute the data we collect. History and experience (are they the same?) has lead to this list. What other solutions might work?


External to event
============
Point and click. - SOAP will serve up all data via the WWW. All [you] need to do is upload the data into our db via SQL insert/update commands over an ODBC connection. We'll setup accounts for wash & gmcia data providers to insert/modify their records. Once data is there, just refresh your browser and -poof- you're all set.

1-800-xxx-xxxx Adrian Wong had prototyped a VoiceXML setup with some of last year's data. I'd like to find out if he or someone else in this community can take the lead in applying this cool technology to scouting.

Paging / Email SOAP is continuing its development of the real-time paging service that took place at Motorola Midwest last 2 years.


Local to event
============
Print out - Who wants to bring a color printer?

Share the Access file and/or Excel sheet. 1.4 MB Floppy may handle some things, but if we add pix and stuff we'll need a LAN and FTP or Windows Filesharing. 8-port Switches are dirt cheap so this shouldn't be a problem.

Intranet Hey if we're bringing switches anyway, might as well setup a LAN w/ Local Webserver. SOAP will have such at IL and EPCOT for the digitized movies. Also we will provide 802.11b WAPs for you to hop on at IL and maybe EPCOT.


your thoughts?
