Mellon Foundation MATC Award Project Futures

Bedework, the project, and Bedework the product, are both thriving. Adoption and development continue within the higher ed community, as well in the commercial and non-profit sectors. Bedework components are incorporated into other products and systems, and Bedework’s public event calendaring is outstanding. New features, such as consensus scheduling (à la Doodle) will be very well received additions. The Bedework “Sometime” component, originally developed at the University of Wisconsin Madison, has great potential. Although the center of Bedework development is shifting, I anticipate that Bedework development will actually accelerate, not diminish.
