On Orbit Development Breakthrough this Weekend

On Orbit
I'm working weekends now to get On Orbit ready. This weekend I created the new Video area and made some breakthrough's with the Drupal code. I'm debating whether there's time to create some new modules. I'd post them as open source on the Drupal site if I do.

The biggest obstacle to launching the site, other than the time constraints, is that I want to launch with the new collaborative area ready. I'm still deciding on what tools to make available to participating organizations.

Unfortunately I can't spend as much time as I would like working On Orbit. Other responsibilities abound including the post HMP field season review with the Mars Institute team and then a meeting on September 6th in Montreal with the Canadian Space Agency.
