Reminder -- Final testing for WYSIWYG editing and scheduled outage

[Wayne Mackintosh]

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that you can still test your WE pages in preparation for our migration to WYSIWYG / Rich Text editing.  Please let us know if you have issues by the close of business tomorrow. For information on our migration to rich editing, see:

http://wikieducator.org/Scheduled_outage_to_implement_Rich_Text_Editor

Scheduled outage

To enable this migration and important software updates on the WE servers we have scheduled an outage starting on Saturday 6 February 20:00 UTC. Check the start times in your region here:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=7&month=2&year=2010&hour=9&min=0&sec=0&p1=22

Visitors to the WE site will have read only access --- you won't be able to edit pages. We have planned this outage to coincide with the weekend for most users around the world.  We anticipate that the migration will take between 5 - 6 hours, however in the event of any unforeseen problems the outage may be longer.

With rich editing -- 2010 is going to be an amazing year for OER!

Cheers
Wayne and Jim

Hi Leo,

Thanks for your help in testing the editor .

Uploading images:

When you click on the insert/edit picture button  --- the editor will search for existing pictures on the wiki.  To upload a new picture enter the filename (one that is not already used in the wiki). Click OK.

This will display a red link in the published view and you can then upload images in the normal way by clicking on the red link.

Hope this helps :-)

Cheers
Wayne

HI Everyone,

Re: Picture Naming: As our wiki and community grow, it is worthwhile to consider how we are naming our photos - an idea might be "Image_name_Wong_day_month_year.jpg, or other...

This way, the chance it will be overwritten by someone else is less likely
