Wiki account rename ????

Mel, do you have sysop privs, that you help me? I'd like to rename my account 'iainD' to 'ixo'... I believe that wiki Sysop group might have special ability to do a rename. thanks, --ixo, 05:27, 4 February 2008 (EST)

Howdy, fellow Weekly Zine contributor.

Just thought to give a shout-out to some our editorial board, to let them know of some recent updates I did for 'Issue 0 (pilot)'.

Took the day off from work (easy when one works for oneself, I just had to ask myself for a day off. :)... get a few items done...

I created am improved layout and structure to help seed ideas and encourage submissions. I went through all the notes and ideas, laid them out best i could in this structure. (and as always, open to feedback and opinions  :).

Hopefully, this will make it easier, and encourage people to add more entries and submissions. *hint* *hint* *hint* *poke* *prod* "Say no more* *say no more* *wink* *wink*

Hi Mel, I saw your comments and have responded on my Talk page. Thanks for your interest! --FGrose 00:24, 14 February 2008 (EST)

wiki getting started

Yes, please merge the two getting started pages; anarchic with well-defined process templates is fine for now. Don't let that question deflect you from defining clean processes. --Sj talk 19:15, 15 February 2008 (EST)

looking for people to help plan the Jam

Hi Mel,

I'm a member of the Unicef's new media group at Columbia University (SIPA) and would like to volunteer for UNICEF's upcoming Festival for Global Youth Communication / Storytelling Hackathon on March 28-30th.

What a wonderful initiative -- I would be very keen on volunteering on the filming/recording/editing side. I'm a German / American freelance radio journalist with TV experience. I'm not a trained cameraman, but I could definetely help interview people. Please let me know if you need help on that side.

Best regards,

Marc (info@marcsehrt.com)
