Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
We are returning to this "wiki" model for a website. For now, use the address www.nousnyc.wetpaint.com to reach this site. You will always be able to use this address to find the site. Soon you will ALSO be able to find this site at www.nousny.org.
You NEED to become a member of this site if you are an NOUSNY member because when it is fully functional - you will receive notice by email weekly or monthly of new additions or changes to the site - AND you can participate in "on site" forums between members on various topics. ALL MEMBERS and supporters of NOUSNY should become "members" of this "wiki" (which is simply a website that is easily managed by a team and is ideal for organizations).
With your membership on the site you will need to create a USERNAME and and password known only to you. This will help with internal messages between members and with the forum tools if you use them. Please pick a username that might help identify you. You can add your full name and photo and other details at your own profile page. Put as much as you like t here. Only other members (members must be approved to join the site) will be able to see the profiles. Years of naval service and rank are typical bits of information you might share. To use the tools on the site (like the forum) you will need to LOG IN. But you can (and anyone can) look at the main pages of the site without being a member. You can share pages by sending links in email to your friends, for instance.
Advanced Users:
SOME members who wish to help add material or photos or information to the site will be designated as "writers" or "moderators" and they will have the ability to make changes on pages - add new pages and so on. This particular wiki tool "wetpaint" is quite user friendly and people with modest web skills will pick up the editing concepts quickly. IF on a scale of 1 to 10, email is a "1" then this is about a "2" or "3". New users have access to many tips and help screens to walk them through the concepts of the editing tool bar.
People who currently put out the monthly luncheon notice or who take photos or who record the events .. will have access to the site as moderators or writers. They will be able to cut and paste their existing documents into the pages here for the benefit of everyone. Some photos will be loaded here, but for large albums of photos - we will have a "sister" site for viewing and sharing photos (you can easily download the ones you want) at picasa. Videos will be housed off site at youtube.com but will be playable inside our own site here at the wiki.
We began using this wiki a couple of years ago so some of the data here is out of date. We had a temporary member who offered to host our site and we moved our website there and set up a wiki there to manage it. It was a very impressive site and we appreciate the work offered by our host. But alas, the wiki in use there was not as user friendly and our "team" fell apart. This "wetpaint" wiki website has many more tools for the membership and has built in training and communications services ..so for the sake of manageability - we are moving the site BACK to the wetpaint location. The www.nousny.org URL that today goes to the free host service from Wayne Spivak of www.sbanetweb.com, will soon repoint to this wetpaint wiki. We should all appreciate Wayne's efforts, but in the end, an organization like this needs a fluid shift of opportuinites with changing leaders able to learn the tools easily. IT should not be dependent on one individual or even a couple to run the website in a timely manner. Shared - team type approach to an easy to learn wiki is in my opinion the best option.
