This is the home page of a preliminary template for basic STC SIG websites and the early work on the foundation of blog-type websites developed for the Online and QPI SIGs of STC.
This Online SIG site was the preliminary model implementation (February 23 through April 23, 2006), blog-like, with news and features listed by category and by date after February 6, and other updates listed by date.
Requirement for this page (combined with About for the Online SIG): six messages from the manager each year with updated volunteer opportunities minimum. Updates daily if there is news.
