I finally figured that out too; I have used code from the team wiki to set up a subpage menu on my own wiki. > > What about starting a thread here of wiki help? That might not be a bad idea, but I think we should wait on setting up additional threads until AFTER we have the meeting stuff clarified, and maybe even wait until after the meeting itself. I think we can organize the meeting using this list if we all stay focused on the one goal of getting the meeting set up. I suspect there may even be a wiki tutorial somewhere on the site, but don't ask me where yet. I have not looked for it yet, but I will when I can afford the distraction ::-) Learning wiki code is not real high on my list of priorities right now. > > alan cocks > > > John Botscharow wrote: > > Ruben, > > > > What you say about the wiki may be true, but the fact is that most > > people who are currently participating on this list are NOT using the > > wkiki, and I suspect the reason for that is that they, like me, are > > unfamiliar with how it works. > > > > I am learning wiki code by working on my personal wiki, but I am not > > going to mess with the team wiki, especially the meeting page, until I > > have a better handle on the code used. > > > > As you said, organizing a meeting is our main priority, and like you, I > > am trying to get that meeting organized as quickly as possible.
