Welcome

Welcome to the SolonDeer work site.  This site is not indexed by Google but it isn't secured yet, so sensitive material still needs to be sent via email.  Do make a comment on the appropriate post that there is sensitive material sent as email.  Also make a comment for posts that have file attachments.

Start by selecting a Label on the sidebar to see all posts within a category.

1. First Click the "Help" Label for an introduction to the web services
2. Start with the "Hot" and "WebNow" Labels.
3. Next Click the "Active" Label to see items requiring work.

Ideally active contributors can be given update access, this wold require a Google Account (either your own Gmail account or your email account registered to Google).

This working blog contains a post for each idea.  Anyone may comment on a post.  Registered users can add new posts and edit their own posts.  Contributors can read a post and offer suggestions as a comment.

The goal is to take the idea of the post and make it suitable for publishing (except Strategy & Tech labels which are for internal use).  Given our target audience we'll want to organize info in the following way, write a sentence or two to describe the main point, this will be on the main site, write a paragraph or two that will be displayed on the blog, the rest of the content may be below the summary after a "More... bar".  The site admin will put these parts in the right place.

If you are doing a major rewrite of a post, comment to it that you are working on it, make a new post, on the bottom by Labels, click "Show all", click "Active", an appropriate category, and an appropriate VerDraft status.  As you edit, others may comment on it.  When you are done, select the label "VerFinal" so I can notice it.  When I move it to the public site, I'll remove the Labels and replace it with "VerArchive".

Recent Changes

• Blog is now listed as "Articles"
• CommentsBlog renamed to NewsBlog

Labels Defined

Copy public list?  There needs to be some correlation with the Article Site Blog labels, but this site will have more Labels to categorize issues that are not for the public.

Clicking on the Label on the sidebar will subset the posts down to the specific category.

Web Site Launch

We plan to launch launched our web presence to coincide with the Safety Mtg on Mar 9.

The SolonDeer Site will have to be in production status.

We'll want to gather and start building content for the SolonDeer Blog.

The design of the SolonDeer Blog needs some updates  is nearly complete.

Hopefully The SolonDeer Blog will be launched the same day.

The SolonDeerWork site will NOT be publicized (other than to those active in our group) I'd like to get people registered to Google Accounts and secure this site too, possibly immediately following the Mar 9th meeting.
