Using WebBoard 4.0 from O'Reilly Software , the Hub can host up to 255 virtual boards, each containing an unlimited number of conferences, which in turn can hold an unlimited number of messages. This popular web-based discussion and chat software is used in virtual offices and classrooms, corporate intranets, and hundreds of online forums. WebBoard's format lets users share information immediately and effortlessly. Your board can be private or public. Private boards require a moderator-issued password for admittance.
Public boards are open to anyone with a browser.
New users can pick a screen name and password for themselves. Previous visitors can simply enter their name and password for admittance to the various public boards. Once logged in, users will be able to read and reply to messages, post new topics, chat live with other visitors, and send e-mail to other users. To sign up for a WebBoard, fill out the following form. The Hub's Webmaster will then set up a conference board for you and give you the URL where it can be found.
