Hi Everyone,

Will WYSIWYG editing make a difference? WE think so, and we need your help.

There is a keen interest among WikiEducators for us to implement WYSIWYG
editing. Over the past two -years we have received numerous requests to
implement Rich Text Editing on WikiEducator.

We are pleased to announce that the Open Education Resource Foundation will
implement WYSIWYG editing in the near future. We need your help in testing
the environment.

WE are asking WikiEducators to visit the test installation on the Athabasca
University servers, especially our more experienced users with large complex
pages.  Please take note of the following message which appears in RED text
on the test servers.

*NOTE: THIS IS A TEST SITE FOR WIKIEDUCATOR -
YOUR EDITS WILL NOT BE PRESERVED WHEN WE UPDATE THE DATABASE*

This message which appears on every page in the testing environment, will
remind you that your edits will NOT be preserved.

   1. Go to: http://we1.wikieducator.net/Main_Page (The test server)
   2. Login with your usual WikiEducator username and password
   3. Go to your favourite page in WikiEducator
   4. Click on the normal edit link
   5. You will have the option of editing the normal way.
   6. To test the WYSIWYG editor, click on the "Rich Editor Link"
   7. Let us know what you think

Note that templates work a little differently in this environment and if you
want to copy and paste text from another environment it is better to use the
standard wiki editor. If you identify any bugs or strange behaviours --
please report them on this page in the live WikiEducator:

http://wikieducator.org/WikiEducator:Editing

With any new technology, there will be minor teething problems. That's to be
expected. Helping us test the environment will ensure that we minimise these
problems and to assess whether we are ready to go live with Rich Text
Editing.

Have fun and look forward to reading your feedback.

Cheers
Wayne and Jim from OERF
