Tools for News teams up with SND

Posted Monday, February 2, 2009 at 4:36 p.m. by Chris Amico in Projects about Django, journalism and tools

The toolkit for online journalists has moved to a new home with the Society for News Design.

Shortly after I launched Tools for News in late December, Tyson Evans from SND emailed me about teaming up on the project. Matt Mansfield helped convince me to come on board. Chrys Wu has more on the hackathon that got it all migrated.

The toolkit is now part of a growing network of apps and sites under SND's banner. Expect development to pick up and the overall look and feel of the site to improve.

Everyone's login should still work. If anything doesn't show up or if you have any trouble logging in, shoot an email to eyeseast at gmail.

The old address will redirect to the new one. When I get a chance, I'll put in a better redirect that picks up more than just the project root (at the moment, any url starting with http://projects.chrisamico.com/toolkit/ sends you to http://toolkit.snd.org). Some links within the site, especially in tool descriptions, point to the old URL structure. If you find those, kindly hit the edit button and take out the /toolkit/ part.

Anyway, Check it out.

Quick update: One thing I forgot to mention before, you will have to update your feeds, since the site's domain has changed. Make sure your feedreader now points to http://toolkit.snd.org/feeds/...
