slodocents.org is a prototype resource website written by some of us San Luis Obispo County Coast California State Park Docents who are interested in improving our effectiveness as volunteers and in reaching out to the community and our valued visitors. Our philosophy is that many of our docent-generated work products should be preserved and centralized onto this one site for reasons of efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness. To the extent that docent-generated content (such as the existing Adventures with Nature (AWN) walks, Mind Walks, or the School Program Calendar) starts being published here on slodocents.org, that other related websites (such as http://www.slostateparks.com/ and http://ccnha.org/) would like to incorporate, that is easily accomplished as other sites could either (a) link to slodocents.org content, or (b) include such content from this site by using framing or related "include" mechanism on their site. We discourage "copying and reproducing" our content so that any changes in content made by us are instantly reflected in all referring sites. As a concrete example of the danger of duplicating content, note that Mind Walks are currently inconsistently duplicated at both ccnha.org and slostateparks.com. RSS or other Web feeds may be made available in the future to help facilitate this concept. This philosophy facilitates (a) increased accuracy (any last-minute schedule or event changes, for example, can be made, at no cost, and in real-time by our all-volunteer staff, and (b) increased efficiency (as this site is paid for and maintained free-of-charge entirely by volunteer docents). The costs to maintain this site (domain name, hosting, editing tools) are negligible, being just few dollars per year, and already paid for by our docents.
