I would like to call for your feedback on how the portal can be improved to support activities of coordination in special interest groups. One way for you to improve the portal is by

• using it and reporting pitfalls to the administrator (use the Contact form)
• read the deliverables, you might be surprised - did you ever try "Search"? did you ever use "Subscribe" to stay informed on changes on a page/wiki e.g. this one? , did you ever contact another member using the contact tab?, did you ever rearrange/sort the entries on a table?

• check Drupal for features, modules additions that you might like
• volunteer to administer certain parts
• start using the wikis (did you notice that text can be edited in wiki-like syntax?)

The JEM network is devoted to the "coordination" and "support" of dissemination and good practice activities and every member can request assistance in promoting these kind of activities: especially SIGs.

Let me also tell you that we can also offer virtual conferencing if you need to setup a virtual meeting, we use it already for the meetings of the JEM steering committee.
