Content: Examples of Activities

What classifies as an activity? Here's what we have been thinking: "Activities” that have no products/publications associated with them (e.g. We completed negotiations to get a cool new data set.  OR We kicked off a new project on XXXX.) or a way to organize content for your city specifically, this could include events, projects, etc.

A couple of examples:

1. Denver's Census 2010 Project Activity is a useful way for them to organize and group the briefs they have produced on the 2010 Census all in one place.
2. Grand Rapid's Community Profiles 2.0 shows how activities can be used to describe an organization's ongoing/long-term projects.
3. Austin's Transportation Related Child Injury Summit is an example of using an activity to describe an event hosted by an organization. You should create an activity describing the event. Then enter any presentations/reports as publications and in the "Reference to other NNIP content" box towards the end of the publication form type in the name of the activity you entered. All publications associated with the event will appear on the activity page. If you have materials or links that you don't want to be entered as separate publications you can just enter them on the activity form as links.
4. Activities can also be use to announce new awards or funding. 
5. If you were to give a presentation to a group and can't figure out how the activity for that presentation would differ from what is on the publication page for the presentation and you don't plan to associate any other content entered on the NNIP Website with the activity or publication, just enter the presentation as a publication and not an activity. However, if the presentation has multiple publications/videos related to it, an activity can be useful to link everything together, as in Louisville's Community  Mapping Campaign in the Portland Neighborhood.
