Good APIs Project » general http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/good-apis-jisc A JISC project looking at good practice for provision of and consuming APIs Mon, 07 Jun 2010 13:14:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.2 Goodbye http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/good-apis-jisc/2010/03/12/goodbye/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=goodbye http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/good-apis-jisc/2010/03/12/goodbye/#comments Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:53:40 +0000 Marieke Guy http://blogs.ukoln.ac.uk/good-apis-jisc/?p=275 Now that the project completed and the reports published, this blog is closing down.

During the blogs life we made fifteen posts making various announcements about the progress of the report. We created 29 Pages in all which were used to collect comments on particular areas. These comments were in addition to the original survey that was carried out using Survey Monkey on which we had 234 responses.

The blog will remain visible for the indefinite future but will be frozen in terms of adding new content and viewers will not be able to add any further comments.

Thanks

Marieke Guy

They will be posted up on the blog sometime soon.

Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to the reports and commented on the best practice section. They may not hold all the answers but hopefully are a starter for 10.

Happy APIing!

With this in mind, they have put together a short survey.

The survey sits nicely alongside the Good APIs survey (now closed). Thanks to the 240 people who filled it in! That’s a lot of data to work with!

The blog will provide a central link to resources created during the project, information about the project and final deliverables.

It will also allow those interested in issues relating to the use of APIs in HE  to comment on discussion areas and findings.

If you have a question, suggestion or comment about the project please get in touch.
