Notes to FON testers
Please jump right in and create a page or two or four.
A typical stories page:
I am not sure how to organize this, the most important page for our members. I want to encourage people to get content up. Especially, if a user is timid with technology. We can make it pretty and do linking later.
Chris's initial idea if for someone to
- Understand how to use a wiki, or for someone to read help. Then,
- find the Group Story Index page (use search?)
- Click on their group
- In edit mode, on their Group Story index page
- create a page link (enter the story name an enclose in a pair of square brackets either side
- save the page
- Click on the broken page link,
- Start entering in the story.
- Hints, use preview at the bottom and save your work often (because this site times out).

See also
We can put a "See also" heading at the bottom and put free form links

There are several citation methods that we can use. We need to figure out if we need to create a template for them or if the signature timestamp will work for us.
