"Old" businesses

All of "old" businesses are related to launch of iDosvid in Kenya in order to make iDosvid pitch real.

Wiki

  • Task (critical): To move public contents from CNM MediaWiki.
  • Situation: CNM MediaWiki no longer satisfies us because of its (a) lack of CNM LDAP integration, so new students cannot access the wiki, and (b) weak mobile-friendly design. We assessed several wiki engines and are ready to make decisions.
  • Decisions:
    1. We shall use CNM Social/CNM HumHub's wiki as our primary vehicle to deliver public contents.
    2. We shall keep XWiki in mind for its possible applications to our development and/or advanced training.
    3. We shall keep Wiki.js in mind for its possible applications to our website development training.
    4. We shall use BookStack as our marketing vehicle for EmployableU Concepts.
    5. We shall continue deploying CNM MediaWiki as our legacy system.
    6. If we build demonstrations for wiki engines, we may utilize BlueSpice.

LMS

  • Task (not critical): To provide the learners with a lightweight LMS instance, so they can practice with that, while populating it with the courses. For MVP, we plan to use the wiki as the content delivery platform.
  • Situation: CNM Moodle looks like well-suited for CNMCyber Bootcamps, but less appropriate for the first two courses than Canvas LMS. So, Natalia was trying to install it. OpenEdX is, probably, too complex for us for now and, most importantly, for MVP too.
  • Actions: Get back to the project when critical tasks are resolved.

WordPress

  • Task {not critical): To provide the learners with individual CNM WordPress instances, so they can practice with those.
  • Situation: CNM WordPress is essential for CNM Website Projects' MVP. Gary offers to start using it - at least, those websites that will help our educaship marketing.
  • Actions: Natalia will create a new VM or VMs.
