Harry - This is place where we can discuss problems, issues, enhancements, etc. Will keep our dialog in one spot where we can easily find things. Will be much easier than trying to track multiple emails.Twhayes (talk) 03:20, 7 March 2014 (PST)

Works for me. See the issues list about the fall season of the xxx9 year.. it really belongs in the next decade.

Harry - Responding to your last email. I fixed the Team Awards portal boxes on the Main page and also changed the name of the 1968 Men Spring portal to just 1968 Men. Notice also that I had an other portal box across the bottom of the Main page called Things You Can Do. This is s commonly included box in many portals.

Also note that I edited your response to me above and put a colon (:) in front of it. That will indent the response and make it easier to track. Also you can sign your entries using four tildas (~~~~), which will put your name and the date of your entry. Again makes it easier to track inputs.Twhayes (talk) 04:23, 9 March 2014 (PDT)

Harry - I made a couple of changes in the wiki configuration and wanted to let you know. First, I changed the default search paramaters to include the Help and Portal namespaces. Without getting into the technical details, that means when you search the wiki for a given year the portal will be included in the search. It also means that when you search for FAQ, they will show up in the search.

I made several changes to the request account page that are shown under Wiki Setup and Configuration heading. I did this to make the request account process easier (only 20 words in bio) and also to ask that each new user indicate how they are associated with USAFA Rugby. This won't be needed for many of the people that you know, but I think it's a good way to 'screen,' new users, especially for those cases where the requstor is not known (which will be often be the case for me). Because I couldn't find a way to have the wiki send an email when a new account is requested (one of us will have to check), I also added a note on the account request page with an email address users could send a follow up to in case we haven't responded to the account request. In case you're wondering, this is the page to check for Confirm Accounts. You'll see there is one open request, which is a test that I'm doing so please don't approve it.Twhayes (talk) 11:48, 11 March 2014 (PDT)
