My kickoff workshop presentation was on the different resources within FIRST. It was a nightmare to try and put together. I feel we're reinventing the wheel.

It should feel like we are reinventing the wheel - because that is what is happening. Does anyone else remember the previous "SharingFIRST" web site ( http://sharingfirst.mit.edu/ )? It was developed by one of Woodie Flowers student at MIT as part of a graduate project, and released to the FIRST teams in 2000. It lasted for three years, until that student graduated and no one maintained the site. While it was up and running, it was a good (and for a while, growing) repository of team- and technology-related information for FIRST teams.



Hopefully, this "new" SharingFIRST web site will have some of panache of the "old" SharingFIRST site, and teams will contribute enough material to make it a viable and interesting resource.
