Re: [school-discuss] https://wiki.schoolforge.net installed ... Getting Started



Dear Bill,

Thank you for the spam heads-up.  I was just getting to this ... probably too slowly.  Ouch!

Dear Schoolforgers,

I've added some stub-links to the front page of the wiki.  If you're the first one to click on one of them, you will become its corresponding page's creator.  Enjoy!

Why the camel?  Why not?  We are a committee, right?  (Note: bring up the old logo discussion again some time.)

By the way, if you see spam, please delete it and hopefully all the extensions will be in place soon.

Dear Yishay,

Use the tool you like.   But please come home soon.  I just think that it's an ironic choice for this particular project.

David
