Excerpt from "Connecting the Village People"
May 2001
by: Jodi Cooke-Lower, Electronic House
In this sometimes isolated, transient and hectic society,
many homeowners are feeling the need to connect with their neighbors
and feel a sense of community and belonging…
...Baxter's developer, Clear Springs Development Company, designed
a master plan that offers buyers quality construction and homes
with character and functionality (both spatially and technologically)…Advanced
wiring packages and a community intranet, trademarked Front Porches,
complete the connected picture.
…Each Baxter home is wired with Category 5 communications cabling
which terminates at a minimum of two outlets. Category 5 cabling
supports high-speed Internet access, computer networking, home automation
and access to digital cable TV service. Homeowners can request that
every room be outfitted with a Category 5 outlet for an additional
cost…
…The trademarked Front Porches intranet is a dynamic interface
that provides updated access to topical and interest-specific information
on a daily basis. Baxter's Front Porches intranet is run with Neighborware
2.0 software that was developed by elliptIQ. Residents can access
Front Porches from their home computers via homeowner-supplied Internet
access. To ensure that everyone has access, residents can use computers
at the village library or the Community Center…
…A searchable directory lists residents in the community, and
offers an optional profile that can help people find neighbors with
similar interests. A calendar provides searchable community events
and activities by date, topic or organization. Bulletin Boards with
reply notifications give residents communication tools for posting
individual and club events or requests. Kids' Club offers kid-friendly
bulletin boards, calendars, games, fun facts, entertaining surveys
and birthday greetings…
