Greetings - Wiki tender

[Ian MacGregor]

Greetings,
 My name is Ian MacGregor. I began using Debian GNU/Linux as my sole OS in
2001. I started using Fedora Core when FC1 was released and am now on Fedora
12.

I spoke with nirik in #fedora-classroom about filling the position of Wiki
tender and I was approved. My first task was taking the initiative to clean
up the wiki classroom page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom and
have completed that task. I will endeavor to maintain the classroom page and
welcome any suggestions for improvement.

Regards,
Ian MacGregor

Welcome, Ian, and thank you for your willingness to contribute!  Here
are some suggestions that might improve the page, for your
consideration and others':

* Put the most current scheduled classes at the very top of the page,
  before the TOC

* Avoid using headers for previous classes so the TOC isn't so long --
  instead, consider making a [[Category:Classroom]] page, categorize
  all classroom pages, and link to that category page for the archives

Just my thoughts -- there are surely other ways to improve the page
and I encourage you to explore and be bold!

Thank you very much! These are good ideas and I'll work on them.

Paul,
 I wasn't able to move the "Upcoming Classes" section above the TOC because
the TOC is populated depending on the formatting of the page (ie, h1, h2,
h3, etc). I did, however, shorten the TOC and that should help in reducing
unnecessary page scrolling.
