Technology Opportunities Program of the Department of Commerce

Here are tentative descriptions of CIC student projects that would be connected to our community informatics data archive project in partnership with TOP and others.

1. Make a mirror of the website of the largest community technology funder in the US. Site contains a db of 600+ projects which would be part of mirror. This project is part of archiving this unique community informatics history. Work on your own, but liaise with Kate Williams, Joan Durrance, and website staff at Department of Commerce.

2. Make a collection (electronic e.g. pdfs) of documents regarding the Technology Opportunities Program: any mentions in congressional records; testimony by TOP staff to Congress or in hearings; NY Times articles.
Index that by TOP staff. Use docs to produce a table indicating annual funding of TOP 1994-2005. Work on your own, but liaise with Kate Williams and Joan Durrance.

Each of these projects could certainly be DFEs, probably one credit (60 hours). … Read more »
