I setup the UDCT99.org website because my undergradaute class from UDCT did not have a web presence that could bring all the batchmates together. The added incentive was that I got to learn a thing or two about a CMS like Drupal.
After an initial scratching around period, I was able to get it working and got a big chunk of the batch to join in. However, research work has not allowed me to continue administrating UDCT99.org and several things on it remain unfixed.
The first step has worked very well. Close to 50 people have signed up and that accounts for nearly 70% of the class. In a lot of ways, simply providing a place that defines the batch will be a fantastic resource in itself.
Looking Ahead
The lack of interaction on the website is evident. A lot more seeding needs to be done to invigorate the community. One reason very well might be that everyone is busy with their work, this being the peak of Fall. However, several things can be done to make the site more usable. The ideas are already there on several threads in the forums.
