[WikiEducator] Re: WikEd code updated
Dear Erik, I have just observed problem in diferent Web browser. For example the page http://www.wikieducator.org/Workshop_Lessons looks absolutely fine in IE, but in Opera, the content of the table shows centred. I do not know what is the problem? Can you check this and advise? Sanjaya Mishra On Oct 6, 5:26 am, Erik Moeller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've updated WikiEducator in all languages to the latest MediaWiki and LiquidThreads code. Please report anything odd, i.e. things that used to work that now seem to be broken. I didn't touch the PDF or Kaltura code, but both seem to still work. A couple of notable changes: * I've enabled support for embedding media from Wikimedia Commons. Any file from commons.wikimedia.org should be embeddable as if it was uploaded directly to wikieducator.org. See the example photo in my sandbox:http://wikieducator.org/User:Eloquence/Sandbox- this photograph is loaded straight from Commons, but it's properly thumbnailed, and if you click the photo, it'll show you all the metadata from Commons. * Some annoying LiquidThreads discussion bugs should be fixed. Notably, headers are back, and LQT should properly display the full thread, rather than just the starting comment, when showing you new messages. Comments in LQT should now also be summarized in a more readable format in the Recent Changes list - feedback welcome. E-mail support is in the works. -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge:http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.

[WikiEducator] Re: Hewlett Foundation award WikiEducator $100 000
This is definitely a news to be celebrated with Way(i)ne!!! I think, it will provide a great boost to learning content development in the Commonwealth. Though training 2500 educators is a huge task. It is possible by identifying the right institutions, and committed individuals. So, it is important to identify institutions that commit to OER, and also provide release time for teachers to develop content for WikiEducator as part of their own professional development. Big dreams in deed for a big cause... Regards, Sanjaya Mishra On Oct 26, 7:11 am, mackiwg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Be sure to check out our News on the front page. (http://www.wikieducator.org/Main_Page) The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation award WikiEducator $10 to build MediaWiki Educator skills for at least 2500 educators in 53 countries under our Learning4Content initiative: http://www.wikieducator.org/Metawikieducator/Learning4Content/Hewlett... The COL will also be investing an additional $6 for this project. The WikiEducator family is proud of this achievement because it is our first funding proposal developed as free content on WikiEducator. The project will widen the skills base among educators to contribute to free content projects like WikiEducator and Wikipedia. I think I should have a glass of red wine to celebrate. I hope WIkiEducators all over the world will do the same! Cheers Wayne --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups WikiEducator group.
