Hi,

Thanks for a great event!!!

I go here but I don't see notes, just the schedule.

Am I missing it?

Hey Rekha,

I updated that doc and it should be fixed by now. Check it again.

I see Emily's notes via link pdf, but it's still not clear to me how
she uploaded them, or, even better, how to create a wiki page to post
notes that can be collaboratively edited, formatted, and shared.

Hi Rekha,

If you go to our wiki page here
http://wiki.publicmediacamp.org/PubCampBostonSessionNotes you'll see the
session notes tab. If you click where it says to click within the
session notes tab you can add whatever to the google spreadsheet we're
using. You'll need an account on the wiki though. You can also upload
files to the site from a link in the (upper) right sidebar of the wiki
page - be sure to file them under the Local Camps folder.

Others should chime in on this if needed.

Cheers,

Jason

Thanks Jason.

I added to the spreadsheet but can't figure out how to paste into one
cell - I was adding on behalf of George Capalbo.

I hesitate to push this since you're all probably having an adrenalin
crash after such a great event, but I do think it's a shame for notes
posting to be so complicated. People just won't post in that case.

I would recommend creating a plain wiki page that people can add
children pages to, rather than a Google spreadsheet. These notes could
then be edited by others - for example, my session generated a laundry
list of media organizations - I'd like for people to add to it and
comment as well.

I personally see the Session Notes as nearly as important as the event
itself. It gives us something to circulate to others who weren't
there, and a living document that continues the conversation.

It looks like I had a login already - I am happy to create the kind of
page I had in mind, but I certainly don't want to confuse things
further!

Agreed - other camps are just creating pages for people to edit. Example:
