@graymills in the end we went for the simplest option. Want to explore new forms of the approach in the future so ideas very welcome.

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

@graymills we thought about it but we couldn't make the details work. Who gets control over funds, who selects them, what motivates them?

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

Deciding which projects to fund was not an easy decision, could have easily spent the funding we had twice over.

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

Now that we have decided on which projects to fund, we've published a reflection on the JISC elevator trial: http://t.co/kAOU68G2

@drenton72 notifications should be going out today and tomorrow. I haven't seen any go out yet though.

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

@uhlr there was, markers have approved the projects but people won't be notified until tues/weds now. Sorry for the delay.

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

@lynnehugill we hoped to let people know today but it has been pushed to Tues/Weds. Sorry.

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

Expecting to notify people about successful ideas by the end of this week. Sorry for the delays.

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

@Lucynels Will be end of April. Various things in JISC have delayed them, the projects funded will be able to run until the end of August

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

@mhawksey there were 26 in total. 20 are being considered for funding.

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

@adamprocter you ended on 74% our close date was always the 30th. Didn't seem fair to close it on a Saturday.

@MrSimonWood thanks. So do I. I think it's gone well so I'm hopeful.

[Jisc Elevator @JiscElevator]

@MrSimonWood @JISC yes, one of the lessons learned is that the elevator vote targets were too low. We'll set them higher if we do it again.
