UCSC FDM20C SPRING 2010 Wiki talk:Community Portal

This is the general discussion page for the wiki! New founders should leave a nice welcome message and encourage new visitors and editors to leave a note to get the conversation started.

Welcome
Just wanted to jot down a quick hello to everyone working on this wiki for the class; thanks for contributing.

I want to take this opportunity to ask everyone what their goals are for this project. I think that this wiki could be really helpful if we focused on the discussion aspect, though I'm also into sharing notes as well. I think posting things that are already on Professor Kelley's website might not be that helpful. Any thoughts? I think that the best way for this wiki to work is to communicate in such a way that everyone using the site has an equal say in what goes up.

Also, I think it might be a good idea to document our work together, not only through screengrabs like Prof Kelley suggested, but maybe even a small get together or study group to work on this wiki. If you have any time before Thursday, I think that having an informal get together to work on this would be cool. Please respond!!!!
 * Haha wow sorry I didn't see this message until now, that would have been really cool. I guess the "community portals" page isn't really a high volume location. As far as what you were saying at the top, it seems people have already shared not only notes but also copypasta from class materials. There are discussions on some of those pages as to the usefulness of posting such material. But I think there's no question that if people continue to edit, this wiki could be a really helpful thing. This was a really great idea that I hope continues to be a success! -Clomen Nature 08:05, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
