I am curious to find out how many departments are using Google Docs on all three campuses? There seems to be an increase in popularity, so let's do a quick informal survey. If you are using it, please reply to this thread and let me know how you utilize it. Thanks!

From Slashdot.org:

This marks the tenth anniversary year of the office suite, with over three hundred million downloads recorded in total. The new features include faster start up times; improved compatibility with open standard (ODF) and proprietary file formats; improvements to all components, particularly the Calc spreadsheet, with over a dozen new or enhanced features; and the Chart module (usable throughout OpenOffice.org) has had a usability makeover as well as offering new chart types."

Drupal Theme Development

Submitted by Daryl Weade on February 9, 2010 - 4:01pm

Happy to see there are more Drupal users out there. One of the common hurdles we may all face is customizing themes to meet strategic computing header/footer requirements for all websites. I've been working on this, trying to find the best method to incorporate the material available at:
- http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/_includes09/UTSC_header.html
- http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/_includes09/UTSC_deptfooter.html
* I'm at UTSC, so if someone would post the options for UT StG and UTM, would be great.
