Your guide to resources that will help you put technology to work for your cause.

MANAGE YOUR DATA

> Having trouble integrating data from different sources? Read NTEN's Report on Open APIs to find out what APIs are and how they can help your data repositories talk to each other.

> Or you might want to create your very own data mash-up. ProgrammableWeb makes it seem almost too easy.

CHOOSE A CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

> If you're looking for a new CMS, check out the Content Management Matrix, where you can compare and discuss your options.

USE A WIKI

> Wikis are "easy to use, but hard to describe". See Common Craft's video "Wikis in Plain English".

CREATE A PODCAST

> Scott Williams of Community IT Innovators has written a white paper on podcasts. The section on how to create podcasts is based on John Wall's NTC 2007 session. You can see the session materials here.
