In order to coordinate our efforts, we're keeping a running list of all the various tools that we might consider evaluating for all of our sub-projects (blogs, wikis, podcasts, social bookmarking, web office, web editor, rss) in a single spreadsheet, which can be found at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pR2uGe5IXkD6nA-fsShY9NQ .
We can keep our unofficial list here, and then move viable candidates to the official list once we feel they are viable candidates.
My off-the-cuff list of tools we should evaluate include:
Drupal http://www.drupal.org
Wordpress http://www.wordpress.org and (multi-user) http://mu.wordpress.org/
Moveable Type http://www.moveabletype.org

Academic Examples
We've set up a tag for use within del.ico.us that allows us to collectively aggregate examples of how higher ed institutions are using blogs within and between their institutions.
The tag is BloggingAcademicExamples . The list can be found at:
http://del.icio.us/tag/BloggingAcademicExamples
From this soup of examples, we'll want to organize the best examples into some sort of page that will also be useful to us as we reach out to various constituents and explain to them how blogs might help them solve their problems and/or reach their objectives.

Requirements
The general requirements for ALL of the web 2.0 applications we are evaluating can be found at https://dokuwiki.wesleyan.edu/doku.php?id=its:web_2.0#requirements . Do we have any questions about these?
Are there additional requirments around blogging software that we want to add?
This is an important list, as it will drive our evaluation process, so we want to make sure we get it right.

Introductions
Since we'll be evaulating blogging software, it makes sense to USE blogging software to organize the work. Our objectives are as follows:
1. Familiarize ourselves with the general requirments that the Wesleyan Web 2.0 project has developed.
2. Add any additional requirements that are Blogging specific.
3. Identify uses cases and examples of how blogging is used in higher ed to help us think about how blogging might fit into the overall technology mix on campus.
4. Identify a short-list of applicatios that we will first present to the larger group, and then evaluate.
5. Pick a university-wide blogging tool for implementation in time for Fall 2007 use.
