Do we have any graphic designers that anyone knows who would be able to make up a nice banner, and even color scheme, for the site? I can't match colors worth a darn. I can make something basic up, but something more professional would be nice. Cyn On 9/21/07, Cynthia Blue <tiptailer@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Joe, The Wiki and the Gallery are two separate things. A Wiki is for information where you can create a page about a certain subject, say telescope making. Other registered users can go and add to your information or change it. It tracks who changes what, and you can mark a page so it will email you if anyone changes it so you can look at the changes. I bet there are a lot of knowledgeble people here that would have a lot ot offer the Astronomy Community. We can even have a SLAS page or other club pages. Anyone can create this... thus I encourage everyone to log in and try it out.
The Gallery will be a separate entity. Probably with a different login. As you do bring up a good point. Anyone can register for the wiki, but we probably don't want a shared database so that those same people have access to the Gallery.
If you guys didn't get the URLS The wiki is here: http://www.utahastronomy.com and the gallery will be here http://gallery.utahastronomy.com

Cynthia, First I want to express my deep gratitude for all you do for amateur astronomy. You really are a wonderful source of inspiration.
On the subject of wikis, I don't see any reason that we should want to allow someone else to delete, alter or replace photos in our personal albums. I'd rather have the original type, unless there's some value in wikis that I am missing. Best wishes, Joe

You do have to register to make changes, just so no spammers get ahold if it.

Having a wiki for this group is a great idea. I assume you are using one of the open source programs out there (though I am not familiar with any of them) -- which one are you planning to use?
Thanks for all you do!

Okay.. well, still coming. :) I moved the domain
to my host, and it
finally transferred.
I'm playing around with the idea of having a wiki... and maybe some forums, and the gallery. What does everyone think?
I haven't restured the backups yet but if you check out http://www.utahastronomy.com and http://www.utahastronomy.com/gallery/
You'll see the progress. Cyn
