[GPSCC-chat] Goals and Strategy Meeting Report

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       1.  Editing Wiki text is shockingly easy:  Just click the "edit" 
tab at the top of the page, then do whatever you want.  When you are 
done, clicking "Save page" at the bottom will make your changes visible 
to all.  Before clicking "Save page", however, you are encouraged to 
click "Show preview" to see if it looks like you thought.  Don't worry 
about making a mess.  The Wiki software keeps track of changes so 
anything you do can be undone by someone else.  Wiki editors have the 
power to undo changes with a few keystrokes.  So if someone completely 
deletes the current content, a person with designated Editor powers can 
undo the deletions.  I don't know who the editors are for the Green 
Wiki, but we doubtless have some.


       2.  Wiki formatting can be a little more difficult.  Those who 
want better control of formatting have at least three options:


             (2.1) Call Spencer, spencer.graves at prodsyse.com or 
408-655-4567.


             (2.2) Try to copy the style from something else with the 
effects you want.


             (2.3) Read the fine manual (RTFM), which we'd all do first 
of we only knew which FMTR.  To start, I suggest 
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page".


       3.  Wiki etiquette prefers you to "create an account" and then 
"log in" before you change something.  However, this is not required.  
Moreover, you are not required to use your real name, and Wikipedia 
encourages people to consider using a user name that does not personally 
identify them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy).  
[My Wiki name is DavidMCEddy, which is extracted from the name of one of 
my Great Grandfathers.]


       Thanks to Jim Stauffer for organizing the session last Saturday 
and making the notes available for all of us to read, revise, etc.


       Best Wishes,
