From CGEU
Scott,
congrats on your wiki edit!! ;-)
p.s. something maybe you can help with, I think that names are important to developing community, even in wiki. What do you think are the technoligical issues surronding names. For me wiki works when people see that other people are there, (or anonymous in open edit wiki, which I think are important and a different conversation) Best, MarkDilley
If it is not obvious, I am refering to Sburton7. Best, Mark ;-)

Main Page
We can ask someone to change this page: MediaWiki:Mainpage to get the right pointer! MarkDilley
Your contract in your namespace
Hi Scott,
If you could move your contract into your namespace on the wiki, that would make things more clear. Currently you are using the main namespace for example for Article 1 instead of Name of union/contract/article 1
Do you know what I mean? MarkDilley
Better example: GEO Local 3550/ContractIndex
This is exciting!!
Hi Scott, I am settling down in Portland, OR and having a chance to look here, it is awesome, good work!!!
couple of things
Hi Scott,
Tables look real good!
Hey, for some reason I don't have access to this page: MediaWiki:Mainpage
- On this page, you set the "front page" of the wiki. Right not it is Main Page, but in reality it is Welcome to the CGEU wiki! and the MediaWiki:Mainpage is where you would set that, if you had access to edit it. MarkDilley
But that is where you set the front page at - the log and the navigation link bar
The wiki family
Scott, not sure if you are interested, but if you want to delve into wiki culture a little more, check out http://WikiOhana.org - Best, MarkDilley
Blue boxes
Hi Scott, I tried to thin them down, but don't know how. If you don't want them now because they are too bulky - that's cool. Best, MarkDilley
Sabatoge
Hi Scott! Got a chuckle from the sabatoge comment - It is so easy to revert spam, test or malicious edits, I don't give any energy to them. ;-) We should get together over skype, phone or somethign to try and plan how the wiki can be used for the next CGEU conference. Best, MarkDilley
At this moment, it happens once or twice every 18 months or so, there is what some are calling a FrakkinSpammer - basically a bot attack, which has figured out how to spam wiki. Hopefully there will be a fix soon and/or the person will get bored. MarkDilley
templeting tables
Hi Scott, I think this way to do tables is a little easier, what do you think, I just learned how to do them that way. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, MarkDilley
has everything been moved over?
Hey Scott - should we keep the banner up until everything is moved over? It could be a community building event too? Best, MarkDilley
Maybe we could do a barn raising event around trying to get all contracts online here. What do you think about that? Best, MarkDilley
Account creation spam
Hi Scott, account creation spam has been bad across the MediaWiki world. If it starts to get bad here - we can do several things. Add a numerical captcha, update to the latest MediaWiki version and finally, request account. I also wanted to ask if the new GEO Alumni group on Facebook, could use CGEU wiki for some organizing around the anti union campaign at Michigan. Hope you are well, best, MarkDilley
