WordPress Registration, New Wiki, and Incorporaton!

Last night's meeting:

  • After a a few hours of reading ridiculously long legal sentences and writing some of our own, we've finished our Arizona Articles of Incorporation. Look for a copy of the paperwork on the wiki soon.
  • Sierra is putting together the details for an upcoming fundraiser; please contact her if you would like to volunteer.
  • Next week's meeting will include a build session for potato cannons!  Rick would like to get an idea of how many people are interested in building a spud gun of their own, the project cost should be less than $30.  Please RSVP no later than Wednesday so we can gather up the parts.  Check back for more details in the next few days.

If you haven't already noticed, we've opened registration on the blog so that everyone may contribute content. You'll find the link on the right column of the page under Meta. Once you register you are allowed to create posts and submit them to the editors for review. Please respect the privilege and add premium content.

We've also thrown up a wiki! You can find that in the right column as well, under Internal Resources. It should be a great place to keep project documentation and look for inspiration. If you registered on the wiki when it
was still interfaced with the WP user database, you may need to request a password reset on the wiki.  That single sign on system was badly broken and I've reverted to the typical separate registration. Double check that your login still works for WP and respond to this post if there are any problems.

    Blast! Should be fixed now, thanks for pointing that out.

    I propose the wiki be featured more prominently on the site, most likely in a tab–probably having something to do with “get involved”

    Thoughts?

    Oddly enough wordpress doesn’t have a clean way of adding an external link to the tabs at the top. Most of the methods I reviewed had major problems with theme compatibility and cross browser display.

    Begin conversation about switching from wordpress….. NOW

    Jacob,
    I’m excited to see that you are enthusiastic about the group. However, suggesting we change every little thing isn’t at all constructive. WordPress can be customized to include such links, but we don’t have the need or resources to do it yet. We haven’t even settled on this theme for all I know. Please make a list of your ideas and we can discuss them at aboard meeting when we are ready to consider changing things.
