DO NOT spend copious hours editing pages on this site --- > every time we update newer snapshots of the real WE database, the edits on > the test servers will be erased. However -- we can't hold our excitement > back and want to give WikiEducators a sneak preview of this exciting future. > Also - don't complain if the server is down -- we're still testing, tweaking > and getting things right. > > 1. Go to: http://we1.wikieducator.net/Main_Page > 2. Login with your Wikieducator username and password > 3. Select a page in the wiki for editing -- try your user page. > 4. Click on the [Rich Editor] link which appears on top of the screen > 5. Start having fun with a WYSIWYG editor. > > Note: > > > - We will implement a more elegant solution for selecting the default > editor (eg in user preferences) > - We will implement the advancement of rich text editing in Phases (for > example, currently editing templates is still not ideal for newbies. We > will > address this in Phase 2 of the implementation.) > - There are still various features and services which are still not > operational on the test servers -- these will be migrated before going live > on the new install. > > Looking forward to hearing your feedback, thoughts and suggestions for > moving forward. > > I think this is going to make a big difference to participation from > educators around the world. We've waited a long time for this opportunity > and its great to see WYSIWYG editing becoming a reality for WE. > > Cheers > Wayne > > -- > Wayne Mackintosh, Ph.D. > Director, > International Centre for Open Education, > Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand. > Board of Directors, OER Foundation. > Founder and Community Council Member, Wikieducator, www.wikieducator.org > Mobile +64 21 2436 380 > Skype: WGMNZ1 > Twitter: OERFoundation, Mackiwg > > > > -- Gladys Gahona http://www.gladysgahona.com http://www.wikieducator.org/Learning4Content/Workshops/Online_schedule/eL4C31 http://www.wikieducator.org/Workshops Skype:chela5808 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
