<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was talking to another lecturer today and was
urged by him to post a reminder about the existence of our department wiki (a
department Web site that anyone can edit -- wherein the editing is about as
simple as typing an email). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I will remind everyone. He's that persuasive.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here it goes: We have a department wiki. It
features information gleaned from common department handouts (like reading lists
for the BW and 1ABC classes, wordcounts and the like from our articulation
agreements, and so forth). The initial idea for this site was that we could use
it as a place to store all of those documents we're always handing out during
our Septemeber meetings. If anyone has documents in that genre that aren't
represented on the site, feel free to add them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The site also has ideas here and there (I'd
love to see more) from instructors about teaching various texts, classes, and
assignments. You can edit all of this stuff directly. New pages can be created
easily, so feel free to add a page on whatever concerns you. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can find the wiki at <A
href="http://ucrcomposition.pbwiki.com">http://ucrcomposition.pbwiki.com</A>
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The password, if you want to edit the wiki, post
stuff, or contribute thoughts (please!), is .... <STRONG>rivera</STRONG>.
(That is, our password is the name of our library, lower-cased.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When you get to the front page, try clicking on the
sidebar to open up a list of contents for the site. Some of those links lead to
very empty pages -- they're lonely and are in dire need of attention. Others are
rather full, but we have nearly infinite space on this site, so type away. (The
only limit we have is that we can't attach or upload many <EM>files</EM>. But we
can create and type on a virtually limitless number of Web pages.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Questions are welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
