| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | From AboutUs
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Welcome to AboutUs, Martin! I saw (and responded) to your note in the SuggestionBox as well, but I wanted to say hello here to make sure you got it. Your site is ready for cultivation and editing at IBESI.org. You can look on the Help pages for references, or you can ask us for help. You can always contact me on my user pages. We're glad to have you here! Drew
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Thank you for the warm greeting Drew!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Currently what confuses me (I’m just a confused kind of guy) is this: Above you state that "your site is ready for cultivation and editing at IBESI.org" When I click to this link in your above text, the URL address space displays "www.aboutus.org/IBESI.org"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | One community I am currently involved with wants to see only "IBESI.org" in this URL space, not "www.aboutus.org/IBESI.org" for they are familiar with the former not the latter, and seeing the latter in the URL space causes this existing community confusion.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If I "cultivate and edit" the page having the URL "www.aboutus.org/IBESI.org" it is my current understanding (may be wrong) that these changes and edits I would make at this page are not going to be reflected at a URL displaying just "IBESI.org" This is my current concern. When I invest my time to cultivate, it must allow my existing IBESI.org community to see these changes via their already known "IBESI.org" URL (my sapling tree). Currently I am using www.homestead.com because it gives me needed editing tools and allows this "IBESI.org" only to be displayed in the URL space.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is my understanding that Aboutus has similar editing tools and capability, yet perhaps not yet ready for use by "tree people" like me. Just trying to explain this to you is giving me a headache, and I suspect I do it poorly. Perhaps Brandon Sanders can take a look at this posting because I think he already knows about the issue I try to explain.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | This means you should return to the [[AdultContentPolicy]] and review any changes that may have been made since you last saw it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * If you still approve of the policy, no action is needed.
| |
| − | * If you are unhappy with the policy as is stands you will need to make a change to it soon.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Any edit will reset the [[DoneTimer]]. (this is ok as it is part of the process)'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is a critical time for the success of the new [[AdultContentPolicy]]. Your continued participation is needed to make sure we make the best decision we possibly can make right now. Please do advocate for the best possible policy!

| − | == [[NewSkin]] Beta Preview ==
| |
| − | Hello Drew!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We've noticed your contributions and are glad to be on the AboutUs team with you! As an [[ActiveMember]] your energy and ideas determine our future direction. One way that [[ActiveMember]]s stay "in the loop" is to participate in the beta previews of large new changes to the site before they are generally released.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Today we're starting a limited beta preview of an earthy [[NewSkin]] intended to reflect the alive and growing AboutUs community. The [[NewSkin]] is designed to feel wholesome and connected with the real world. This choice was made to reassure the many folks who feel that the internet is a "scary place" where mean people hide behind fake identities and shout insults at each other. We hope that the [[NewSkin]] evokes our values in a way that helps visitors and members alike feel grounded in true community.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''We'd love your help putting the [[NewSkin]] through its paces!''' To give it a whirl you'll need to be logged in. Once you are logged in, go to "my preferences" | "skin" and select "design". Don't forget to then click the "save" button! You can always go back to the current skin by selecting "aboutus" via the same steps.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Your feedback on the new look for aboutus will help ensure that it has a maximally positive impact when we roll it out. Thanks for being a valuable member of the community, we look forward to your feedback on the [[NewSkin]] page!

| |
| − | It's quite the sticky wicket. Interesting idea about only allowing sysops to remove, after review. Have you seen the ongoing effort on the [[Questionable Content Policy]]. AS, MB and DG are all seemingly agreeing. Hmm. We'll see how it goes. We also have this new task or project, or whatever it is: [[ToughCases:Mediate]]. If you're seeing this kind of edit war a lot, maybe it should go on that page, with your suggested solution?

These two categories may be useful ones, and it might have been better to have removed the spam but kept the category in both cases.

This [[consensus poll]], as you know, has been started to make a collective decision as to the identity, [[values]] and [[mission statement]] of [[AboutUs]], and as such it can't be complete without all of us participating. [[WhoWeAre| WhoWeAre Stage 2]] is in progress; you are most welcome to have a look at the page and set [[WhoWeAre:Stage2Status/DrewMyers|your status]] accordingly and/or change the document to improve it.

| − | : Drew, what a mess this person created for us! After your work to make the pages look right, I went ahead and undeleted the moved versions that you deleted so I could move them back, which restores the history in it's rightful place. I learned the maneuver a [[Wikipedia]] a while back when reading up on how to merge edit histories after two pages are merged together.
