I'm going to add this Feb. 10th chat to the Calendar right now. The way our system works events are added to the Calendar by linking a thread in a forum directly to the Calendar. So I will link this thread to the Calendar.
The problem with this is...
1. Whatever title was used to create the thread will be what is found in the Calendar
2. The link in the Calendar will lead people from the Calendar to whatever thread is linked.
Sounds good on the surface, but when new people come, click on the Calendar and read a discussion about when the chat should be, they might conclude that we haven't yet decided on a chat date/time. They basically get transported into a lengthy thread where we are discussing what we want to do and they might not realize that an actual date/time have been determined.
I'm not sure I am explaining this properly.
A solution is that I don't use these discussion threads as the actual Calendar links. In fact that is how I am going to handle it. |
