I tried to update the Knowledge Base, but ran into a problem. Following
Carol's directions in the email of Jan 5 I got to step 3 select "book page" and
could not find it. I thought I would spend time this weekend trying to figure it
out. I ran out of time yesterday.

JC members,
Please update your TC's page in the Knowledge Base ASAP (I am
working on
it this morning :-) ) Also, we have an opportunity to add our
*brief*
bios to the editorial board page. No one has updated this page yet
- is
this something we would like to do?

[ebxml-jc] ebXML XML.org Homework for JC
ebXML JC:
If we are going
to meet our goal of announcing the ebXML XML.org site
this month, we need
to get cracking.
First, I created a page in the Knowledge base for each
TC (see links at
http://ebxml.xml.org/knowledge-base). Each TC chair (or
their designate)
needs to add content to their group's page BEFORE COB
THURSDAY, 11 JAN.
At a minimum, this content should be a brief overview
that defines the
TC's work in basic terms. Be sure to include links to the
specifications
and to the TC's public homepage on the OASIS site.
You (as Editorial Board members) can edit and add Knowledge base
pages
at any time, but you should try to avoid including information that
will
become outdated too quickly (unless you *know* you're going to stay
on
top of it).
Registered users of the site will be able to append
comments to your
Knowledge base pages, but they won't be able to edit the
main text.
In addition to the main overview page for each TC, sub-pages
may be
created to provide information at a more detailed level. To create
a
sub-page (child-page) in the Knowledge base:
1. log in
2. select
"create content" from the right column of links 3. select
"book page"
4.
specify a title for the page; a path alias is optional
(but
recommended).
5. activate the pull-down menu for "Parent" and
select your TC page from
under the "Knowledge base" listing.
6. add your
text in the "Body" field
7. if you're creating multiple sub-pages, activate
the "Weight"
pull-down menu to specify the order in which you want them to
appear in
the index 8. preview your work 9. submit
Second, if
your employer offers a product or service related to ebXML,
please create a
listing in http://ebxml.xml.org/products or
http://ebxml.xml.org/services.
Each listing can only be edited by its
author and by the OASIS admin staff.
Others may append comments (e.g. a
customer may comment on how great your
product is), but they can't alter
the listing itself (this protects against
competitors editing each
other's listings.)
Next, please consider
adding a testimonial to
http://ebxml.xml.org/testimonials.
Finally,
if you want to be identified as a member of the Editorial
Board, please add
your name and *brief* bio to
http://ebxml.xml.org/editorial-board.
(See
http://dita.xml.org/editorial-board for an example.)
On Friday, 12
Jan, I'll send a message to members of all the OASIS ebXML
TCs and ask them
to add their own products, services, news,
testimonials, recommended
resources, etc. prior to our public launch. It
is very important that the
Knowledge base pages be filled before then
(so members easily understand
what we're trying to do).
In the meantime, I'll start drafting a press
release to announce the
site. If your company is interested in becoming a
sponsor, please let me
know; site sponsors will be featured and quoted in
the press
release.
Thanks,
Carol
