Site under construction. Objectives:

1. Set up a Moodle. (Done).
2. Create a Page Logo (Done).
3. Set up wiki, survey, and blog software (order to be determined).
4. Create a real front page layout. Need to decide what form the layout will take (PHP, Dynamic HTML, Frames, Tables, JavaScript, Java Servlets, Ruby. I appear to have many choices)
5. Start Creating MessagEcologies content. That will be the fun part.

Here, as a suggestion of what you are likely to find here later, is a small list of message ecologies:

1. A relationship
2. A family
3. An organization
4. A community
5. A society
6. A workplace
7. The stock market
8. A carnival or exposition
9. A store or shopping mall
10. A street or highway

That's just a few. The key thing about a message ecology is that it supports a variety of different kinds of messages using a variety of media and languages (including verbal, written, non-verbal, etc). Describing these ecologies and the communication that occurs in them is, in a very real sense, the point of this site.
