Welcome to Hosting

(Template in Progress)

This is also a temporary template, as the pages for Tips and How to post to the wiki, are to be updated!

 
As promised here is your "Welcome to Hosting" email. We deeply appreciate your participation.
Should you still have questions after reading, of course, feel free to contact me. :)
 
The first link you will find useful, has to do with guardian sessions themselves, and
general guidelines we try to keep in mind.

What the page does not yet cover, is the process related to using the auto-listener.
Thankfully that is brilliantly simple!
 
When you arrive at the session, the listener should give an alert "Recording has started", after which
you right-click the triangle in the middle of the fountain, receiving at the top right corner of your screen,
a menu of options. "Claim" the log.
 
You will then be asked in the chat box, to enter your email address: /17 email@address . This means
that once the session is complete, either when you right-click the trianble again and select "Stop", OR after everyone has left the pavillion, an email will arrive containing a "Link to a Meeting Log".
 
This Meeting Log page should contain the entire contents to be posted at the wiki, so the only thing to learn will be how to post it! The page with instructions on this is woefully outdated. We are working on it. In the meantime let me give you a guide to the guide: 
 
-Obviously, with the whole log arriving via email link, we don't need to copy and paste from our chat box as was necessary in the beginning!

-Also, in the 'file preparation' section, there are two parts to notice and the others are outdated. The first part is:
- Remove extraneous information: Read the entire log and remove all lines that shouldn't be included, including the remarks of those who asked not to be published. The wiki will contain full edit history of every page, so whatever you post will be there to stay for anyone who looks at the history.
This is still important to do.
 
The other thing is only necessary to note if you want to use another program to format. It isn't necessary for chat logs really, only for scribes. Still, let me draw attention because it may be important in the future:
- First, don't use Word or OpenOffice for this. Copying and pasting from Word will bring in formatting with it that will create wiki-editing pain. Use Notepad, Wordpad or one of the programs from the list below.
 
 
Okay, with those disclaimers, here is the link:

The parts that are still very accurate, aside from referring to the text editor in #9, are at the bottom, starting with:
