Welcome!

Hey Munity East Press Team 2010! This year, we decided to take a new approach by using this wiki page to communicate and discuss our pre-conference issue. In the previous years, we communicated only through the email, which resulted in failures to retrieve information in time and to lose contact with each other. Through this page, we can constantly update our work and share our opinions for the upcoming newspaper.

Getting Started: If you scroll down the home page, you will see the list of "teams" that are created. Press the link to your designated "team" and go into "members." In there, there will be a list of all the members in your team and under your name, please make a short profile of yourself.

In your profile: 1. Upload a picture of yourself, so that the press team will know who you are 2. Include your grade, school name, and email address 3. Write a brief description about who you are and anything else you want your press members to know about you

For Reporters Only: Under "members", there will be another link called "pre-conference assignments." In there, will be topics and assignments each reporter needs to write about. We will update via email when the due dates are for each assignment and all you need to do is upload your documents or copy and paste your work onto your section. Then, the editors will edit your work and re-post the edits on your section. Again, visit the wikispace as frequently as possible so that you know what's going on and know what to do.

Also, for those who are assigned to write about individual presidents, generals, or certain issues about a committee, there are two links on the home page that says, "issues for 2010," and "appointments." In there, will be the lists of students and issues that you will need to use to write your article.

New to using the Wikispaces I know most of my school members are used to using this site, but for others who've never even heard of wikispace, here are some quick how-tos to navigate and edit through this program.

1. Always, always, always, when you need to go back to the home page, look at the side, left hand bar that says "home," and click it.

2. When you have to edit a page, click "edit" on the top right hand corner.


 * Some things you need to be aware of is that, you cannot edit when others are editing. Although it's hard to tell who's editing, (since we're all in different places), we need to be as cautious as possible. The problems that will occur when this happens is that both yours and the other person's edits will get erased. To prevent this, always have your work on another file or document, so that if things get erased, you can always post it again.

3. After you click "edit", a tool bar will appear at the top of the screen. I'm pretty sure the tool bar is familiar to most of you so I don't have to explain what every icon does.

Once you start playing around with it, you'll see how easy it is! Just be careful not to touch other people's work and save what you did as frequently as possible.
