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 Stevenaia, who is our Mentor Coordinator, or myself. :) Actually, any PaB guardian available, is usually happy to be of assistance. It is not a bother! 

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 under the flower 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 click the triangle/flower 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 The page with instructions on this is woefully outdated.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 is am important part to notice:

- 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Read the entire log and remove all lines that shouldn't be included, including the remarks of those who asked not to be published.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!

As for using OpenOffice or Word, the wiki we now use does have a wonderful feature for pasting from Word or Plain Text. These buttons appear in edit mode, and are found down the row which begins with 'Save', just after copy and paste. :)

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:
