Talk:Taking a Pulse

I need to learn where to write on the paper...my message came out in the middle of Janet's....oops

I am looking forward to seeing folks try this out! Hi everyone, Sandra here. i am really happy to have finally got on to this wiki thing.Thank you Murray for the training. I can see some really positive applications for this within out action groups.Bold text Looks like Janet gets the prize for responding first! - thanks Janet!

I believe the "big prize" is the ability to collaborate online via a WIKI will help break log-jams which may stall highly technical projects or tasks...
If we contribute (large and small) consistently to this technology, then we ALL win...

What do you get for second place? Brian B.

You get to bring coffee I'll take it double, double! Lynne

The satisfaction for a job well done... and you just can't put a price on that... Actually, you get first prize from anyone participating in the discussion section! Murray S.

There's no second place, is there? I didn't read that in the manual. Jan

Hi Janet, I see your "pluse". I believe when people are trained to know when to use "page" and when to "discuss" and how frequently that should check or check their "watchlists", then communication will work...Murray

This will be great for keeping up to date on what everyone is working on. Wish I knew about this before I stared the CE Coordinator position. It would have saved a lot of time and emailing back and forth and people "forgetting" about the emails I had sent them. Perhaps the next coordinator will benefit from this. Sonja

I think when we have time is to have a strategy which individuals can "test-out" this tool, and which ones we train to use. There is a learning curve to be able to keep coming back to the WIKI and participate. Once that is done, and people are consistent, there should be no problem... Murray

Well excuse me Mr B ... but if there were a second prize, silver would go to the second response out of the gate. I'll give you honorary bronze though, even if it doesn't exist! EW

Actually, it does exist - Look at link below.... M. Saul

Earl, was wondering if you were available Friday Oct 1st, 2010 in the afternoon for WIKI training... (I'm going to try to finish 4th door at church in the morning)... M. Saul

Ok Brian, You can pick up your medal at the link above:) Murray, I'll have to let you know closer to the end of the week... and thanks! Plus could you tell me how much time we would need Fri morning, if I can do it.

Earl, Should only take 1 hour at the most... (maybe a few "follow-ups" later)... M. Saul

Well, it looks as though it's getting easier to use for folks! In regards to the communications problem, one solution would be to amend the document. I'll be giving Brian H a proposal in that regard. Earl, for me, it would be easier if the AVIT form was directly attached to the booking form. It's not often easy finding the document and to be honest, I dislike bothering busy people for one form... Thoughts on this? Jan

'LSmith' F.Y.I. Westminster's Event Booking / AVIT / Property Communication forms are available on the office counter for anyone wishing to do a booking. The proposal sent to the Communications Facilitator showed that many of the concerns have already been dealt with and others are being looked at.

msaul: Thanks for info Lynne...

msaul: Hey, doors are nearly done, check out progress chart on WIKI: http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Refinish_Front_Doors

Murray the doors look great! LS

Earl: Way to Go Murray ... Thanks for doing such a GREAT JOB!

Cool Earl, you made the text bigger with the <big> tag.

The only problem with this tag is that you need to nest it, to make larger. This is why this tag has been labelled "deprecated" You can use CSS inline style to set the font-size instead. For example, view my <span> tag below (when editing this page) to see how I set the following text to be 1 centimeter high:

This text is 1 centimeter high!

Here is another example:

This text is 1 inch high!
