I just added a few comments to

and noticed some from stickster and rudi I hadn't read before. I would
encourage everyone to revisit that page and comment if appropriate. If we
can get as much material as possible out in the open before SELF than FAD
can be that much more productive.
As Eric reminded us yesterday, F12 is fast upon us.
Taking a moment to pass on a really good tip someone gave me:
1. Go the wiki, log in, and click on "my preferences" at the top
right.
2. Click on the "Watchlist" tab.
3. Make sure that "Add pages I edit to my watchlist" is selected.
I would venture to say this option is *vital* for anyone working on
Docs, or the wiki. If you work on a page you want to know if someone
changes it after you're gone so you can make sure things stay
consistent.
I would also highly recommend adding pages you care about to your
permanent watchlist. To do that:
1. On the upper right, click "my watchlist."
2. Click the small link under the page title that reads, "Edit raw
watchlist."
3. Add page titles to the list (e.g. "DocsProject/WorkFlow")
When any page on your watchlist is edited you'll get an email. Of
course, you should set up a filter that puts those emails somewhere
useful. I have a folder in my email account so all the wiki edits
stay together and I can examine them all consecutively and quickly.
Anybody else have handy tips for wiki minding?
