Welcome to the BBVX Wiki
This wiki is a collaborative environment for members to share ideas about using technology to benefit the mission. It will also be used as an "advertising platform" for training materials that explain different repositories and tools that will help members be more efficient and effective.
This wiki is a VOLUNTEER driven effort. Do NOT call the Helpline or any other contact at the Association if you have problems with this site. If you have a comment or would like to contribute, please contact the maintainers of this site.

What's BBVX?
BBVX.org started in early 2005 as one member's contribution to the organization in order to support volunteer efforts to advance the mission. It is a demonstration area for new technology and a hosting plaform for various member-driven projects. Examples include:
- election2009.bbvx.org the voter guide for the 2009 AAUW board election (custom code)
- tuag.bbvx.org used for beta testing of the MPP in the spring of 2009 (mantis)
- openup.bbvx.org which supported the work to change the degree requirement (static site)
- wiki.bbvx.org this Wiki for collaborative documentation of technology information (MediaWiki)
- BBVX blog (now in archive mode) was an initial place for tech discussions (WordPress)
This web site is not entirely without precedent. See
- stc-annex.comThe STC Annex - a volunteer-driven complement to the Society for Technical Communication site.
