SAP Community Network - Redesign

I was pleased to see the latest redesign of the SAP Community Network.

It has been a long time since I worked on SDN, so it was time to update the 2003 design we created with a new design.



It was also cool to find one of the first Blogs ever posted on SDN, as we were in Beta...

"...

Network of Communities = Community of Networks

"It is not about who you are, but about whom you know (and who knows you…)". I believe one of the greatest ideas behind SAP Developer Network is that it helps you become knowledgeable – regardless of your starting point or location.

Some of us are "well connected" to inter-circles within SAP, others are deeply involved in the SAP-related community – SAP Developer Network provides the bridge and hub to connect these worlds to all of us. "Connect to SAP Developer Network" does not mean just typing the URL – we should all become connected as one big (hopefully happy) developer gang. Contribute from your experience – let us know what you know - and help us learn from you – as we would like to help you know more.

Collaborate – share your ideas - initiate collaboration – join collaboration activities and make yourself heard! We just got started and I would like to invite you all to this journey!

It may be bumpy at first - but with your help and feedback, we all will have a great, useful and enjoyable time together. As we get ready for the BETA phase – embrace our new community of networks and be part of building the network of communities.

Design Resources: Boxes and Arrows

Boxes and Arrows is devoted to the practice, innovation, and discussion of design; including graphic design, interaction design, information architecture and the design of business. Since 2001, it’s been a peer-written journal promoting contributors who want to provoke thinking, push limits, and teach a few things along the way.

They have great (practical) articles and examples for design processes, prototyping methodologies and much more.

For example:

• Prototyping with XHTML
  
  
  
  
• Why We Call Them Participants
• PDF Prototypes
• And much more.

Learn and enjoy.

Just Good News

Well, recent weeks were tough.
Many sites are reporting the bad news (fuckedcompany, fuckedstartups, Cnet, Scorecard, and more...), but only few report good news...


Good Mood is a new website (Hebrew only for now) that just went live, so they'll be looking for ways to improve and expand. For now, you have a chance to read about some good things that happen in Israel and around the world, including a recent Israeli start up buyout :)

And if this does not help (or your Hebrew is rusty) here is one of the songs that always make me smile:

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

I know I am one day late to comment on this.
(Well, I do have a day job).

What can I say.
Zoli saved me a lot of typing...
