Chat Log (complete – key points underlined)
Rafael C: hi
mark
Rafael C: i
had arrange a meeting with a Senior adviser of OEA for next week
Markus: Hi
Rafael
Markus: Please
see if the babelfish translations are working
Rafael C: great
Rafael C: ok
but i want to make some comments for today
Rafael C: 1
- Count on me for the Spanish contents for the website
Markus: check
:-)
Rafael C: 2-
I can serve for the Spanish speaker at the summit
Rafael C: I need the requirements and elements to be displayed
for the exhibition display to tell Universia
Markus: I
will send that information with the chat log
Rafael C: My
invites will be Universia and OEA
Rafael C: At
the pre-summit I can help Spanish users
Rafael C: that’s
it
Markus: great
Markus: I will pass this on at the
meeting and also talk with Rich about it in regards to setting you up to help
with the workshops
Markus: I
just put a link that will open a Spanish version of the site
Markus: open
the Spanish version and then look for the tutorial links on that page
Rafael
C: but using babelfish for
the translations is poor for technical references for installing AWEDU
Markus: ok...then
I will replace those with the ones you sent....I have them ready anyway
Rafael C: sorry
for today I would love to be here
Rafael C: see
u
Markus: see
you
Markus: Hello
gang
Markus: Rathish
do you have an image we could add
Markus: We will wait a few more minutes
to get going...several others have responded they will attend today
"Rathish": I seem to like my anonymity :) But,
should I have to send it to the mail address listed in the site?
Markus: sure..or if there is a link to
an existing one I can use that...if you want to be anonymous you can be :-)
"Rathish": I've sent them to you by mail
Dr. Chisholm: Greetings from Houston
Markus: Patrick
said he will be a few minutes late
Markus: hehe
Patrick M: sorry
Markus: I
did not hear back from Mark P today
Dr. Chisholm: Sorry about my formal handle; I guess I'm still in teacher mode
Hypatia: okay
doctor, I am still the ancient librarian
Dr. Chisholm: anyone need a flu shot? ;)
Markus: Rafael
cannot make it today
Markus: He
came in earlier and passed on some information I will share in a bit
Markus: ok
so how bout we get rolling today
Dr. Chisholm: ahoy, Patrick
Markus: Welcome
all...glad you found the time to stop in
Markus: this will be our last
leadership meeting for a couple weeks....hopefully we can cover what we need to
get the Summit rolling
Markus: I would like to meet one more
time on November 11 (3 weeks from today) to just have a last prep meeting
Dr. Chisholm: time?
Markus: the
rest I hope we can cover through email and the IEA discussion board
Markus: same
time...same place
Markus: I
will mention it again when I send out the chat log later today
Markus: anything
from anyone before we head into agenda items for today?
Hypatia: great...
your notes from last meeting were very helpful too, Markus
Markus: I
will try to keep the summary shorter this time :-)
Markus: I'm
seeing a doctor about that
cybernaut: hello
all
Markus: I
would like to welcome one new participant today..opps make that two now
Markus: the
first is Rathish Balakrishnan
"Rathish": Hello Everyone
Markus: Rathish
can you give the group a brief intro?
"Rathish": Sure. I am here representing Center
for Advanced Learning Technologies, INSEAD
Markus: thanks
Dr. Chisholm: where is that, Rathish?
Markus: and
the second is Rudiger Stiebitz
"Rathish": We are put up at France Dr. :)
Markus: Rudiger
can you give a brief intro as well....
Markus: sorry
Rathish for jumping in
cybernaut: I'm Ruediger Stiebitz from Germany ,
art educator, doing Children Building projects in Diverse world intercultural
multi schools multi cultures projects, I've worked with Bea Ligorio
"Rathish": that's ok Markus.
Markus: ok...well let's look at the
agenda (above) and I will kick off with an update on the IEA website
Markus: The site is coming along www.aweduserve.org/iea
and we will add many of the media components this week...as well as finish the
Press Kit in the next day or two
Dr.
Chisholm: might be cool to have
flags under our photos here, to show what country we're in...just a note
Dr. Chisholm: very nice graphics!
Markus: We
hope the Press Kit will help you spread the word about the Summit
Markus: As well we are working with
James Burke and Patrick to get the word out to some media groups that might
cover the event
Markus: any
ideas others have about this?
Rich: Educational
newsgroups or listservs perhaps ?
Markus: check
Markus: other
ideas?
Hypatia: All
of the web3d lists too
Markus: good
point
Hypatia: Actually
there are a few edugames lists that are good for this too
Markus: can
you provide me with any of those contacts and i will add them to the target
list :-0
Hypatia: Do
you have a pre-event interview set up with any online mags?
Hypatia: okay
Markus: not
yet, but i was hoping to make such contacts this week
Rich: That's
a good idea
Dr. Chisholm: listserv?
Rich: mailing
lists
Markus: If anyone has former contacts
that might be an in for this that would be helpful to know
Hypatia: I
have a number of groups I plan to bring in physically in N. Calif
Hypatia: question...
Markus: Also we have activated the
IEA forum and the Summit forum on the website....If you could each register for
them we can get ongoing dialogs going about these issues as well.
Markus: yes
Bonnie
Hypatia: Can we get a list from your
autoprereg with locations so I can get some GIS vizzes for event?
Hypatia: just
need density and locations ... demographics of participation
Markus: yes
Dr. Chisholm: GIS vizzes?
Hypatia: might be able to pull off
realtime demographics in gis on open source collab linked to your world
Markus: we
have just sent out the invitations so I will keep you updated on the rsvps
Hypatia: cool
Markus: I still think our greatest
hope for attracting participants is standing here right now
Rich: (not
counting Rafael and the Spanish contingent) :)
Markus: We have several people in the
group that have already generated significant interest from those they have
connection with.
Dr. Chisholm: Some of my students have offered to translate in Spanish,
if need be
Markus: Right...Rafael is rounding up
everyone in Latin America with a pc and Internet connection it sounds like :-)
Dr. Chisholm: vale!
Hypatia: brava!
Rich: Translations
on the day and in pre-conference workshops could be extremely valuable
Dr. Chisholm: ok, I'll tell them to stretch their fingers...
Rich: :)
Dr. Chisholm: I can probably get translators in several languages, if you
give me time.
Markus: Great Rafael is also tackling
translation issues for Spanish. We
have also tried to use babelfish to provide basic translations of the IEA
website in German, Italian, Spanish, and French
Markus: but these are likely
crude...Rafael is directly translating the site into Spanish and we hope to do
the same with other languages as we find the help.
cybernaut: I
could send you some German translations
Dr.
Chisholm: http://www.uh.edu/writecen/consultants/consultants.htm Here's a link to our translation
resources. These kids are really
good.
Hypatia: Do you have a set agenda for
inworld now? Did you need any world presentations added or is the agenda pretty
complete? I notice student presentations is still open
Markus: excellent Rudiger....I think the
most important is the download and getting started tutorial
Markus: Let's
move on to item two on the agenda (Summit Itinerary) Bonnie
Markus: On
the boards to the SW is a rough listing of the events we have discussed for the
Summit
Markus: Dr. Chisholm and the Univ. of
Houston will be having students serve as ushers inworld on the day of the
summit
Markus: I am talking with the Univ.
of Michigan about doing the same, but having students help with the cultural
islands we have created to show
Rich: The
actual schedule of events is not yet set though, and this needs to be addressed
Markus: let's
take a look at the items I have listed and get your input
Dr.
Chisholm: I have a few students who
are in desperate need of extra credit; any chores you have can be passed on to
them.
Hypatia: Yes I have two physical groups
coming in on a big screen to watch and need to know how to orchestrate that
Rich: right
so we need a precise timetable
Markus: over
here...we can set this up now
Dr.
Chisholm: Right. My students will be wearing UH usher
uniforms, and we can farm them out like parking lot attendants
Markus: hehe
Rich: so
we have 3 hours in total, for which the last hour will be hooked up to SIETAR
Markus: right
their job will be to help people get around and answer basic questions
Dr. Chisholm: When is Burke's address?
Dr. Chisholm: Is SIETAR going to see him?
Markus: We
thought the cultural island displays would be a good place for folks to just
mill about for the first portion of the conference and mingle...
Rich: That
would be best placed at the beginning of the SIETAR hookup i would think
Dr. Chisholm: I hope so.
Rich: we've
asked James to do about 10-15 minutes
Rich: just
checked, the SIETAR hookup is at 5.30pm Texas time, whatever that is
Dr. Chisholm: central time.
Dr. Chisholm: 3:30 PST
Rich: yes,
i think we need a complete timetable, including time zone differences
Dr. Chisholm: how does the U.N. do it?
HK
AlanLai: It's better to create
a gobal timetable like http://www2.hkedcity.net/sch_files/a/mds/mds-aru5/public_html/vtr-time.htm
Hypatia: Good
question, Doctor
Hypatia: we
should have time/space coords for everyone :-)
Hypatia: Lat/Long
plus virtual GPS plus TimeZone coords
Dr. Chisholm: a big globe with nice, friendly lettering...
HK AlanLai: The
VRT time is good for user meeting in AW.
Dr. Chisholm: yeah, but us Texas are kinda thick
Hypatia: yeah,
sort of but not for newbies and hard to learn oldies like me
Markus: ok...I
put the time on the boards over here
Hypatia: coola
Markus: let's
make sure I got it right :-)
Rich: errr
Patrick M: Times
Own is a nice utility if you can track daylight savings time changes
Hypatia: but don't forget, time changes
in another week and Indiana is one of the states that does not do daylight
savings time... PST changes to PDT
Dr. Chisholm: aaaaaaah!
Rich: *bang*
Markus: So
the first two hours will be taking place only here in Unite (8:30 – 10:30 GMT)
Dr. Chisholm: *hides head under desk
Markus: *slap*
Hypatia: It's
a timezone nightmare
Hypatia: :-)
Zola: Why
not just use the Virtual Time...VRT....and everyone can do the math from there.
Dr. Chisholm: math?!
Markus: Indiana
hasn't posted an RSVP yet :-)
Dr. Chisholm: aaaaaah!
Hypatia: no
I beseech you
Zola: heh,
yep.
Hypatia: GMT
is better than VRT for newbies
HK AlanLai: VRT
time is a common time for all user in AW.
Rich: I'll
just be here all day, it's safer
Zola: exactly
Hypatia: but
not for newbies to AW truly... I know this from experience
Susan
K.: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/full.html
gives a good listing of cities around the globe and keeps up-to-date on
changes.
Rich: that is a good point, the vast majority of
people coming will be complete newbies and will want to work on their own time
zones
Markus: Right...I think we need to
stick with GMT when promoting this and I will email a time chart out to
invitees after time changes
Hypatia: good
link, Susan
Rich: yes,
with big red letters Markus :)
Hypatia: good
plan, Markus
Rich: ok,
so we have 2 hours.. Pre- SIETAR to plan
Dr. Chisholm: ok
Markus: ok so...two hours with just
inworld events (8:30 – 10:30pm
GMT)....then the last hour we will join up with the SIETAR conference in
Austin, Texas (10:30 – 11:30pm GMT) This is the correct time – please note
Dr.
Chisholm: you are going to need at
least 30 minutes for people to stop flying around and karate chopping
everything
Rich: for which we should assume i guess that
the first 20-30 minutes is wasted in mingling, saying hello, and getting stuck
in trees
Markus: right
Hypatia: not
if you do a 1/2 hour pre-show navigation party
Dr. Chisholm: good idea
Hypatia: hand
holding fiesta
Rich: yes,
i will be doing much more that that
Hypatia: with
all of us ol timers
Markus: so
let's say events start at 9:00pm GMT (everyone calculate time now)
Hypatia: and
student helpers
Rich: 2
weeks of pre-conference workshops will be available
Hypatia: nice
Dr. Chisholm: are we going to have voiceover chat for this thing?
Hypatia: Talkspace
is avail
Rich: possibly,
Rick did mention it, but it will be in a limited fashion
Dr. Chisholm: I'm just wondering how I'm going to give a talk and participate
inworld at the same time
Hypatia: logs
and chat are better
Hypatia: for
full expereince
Rich: an
Alpha version of the browser, with which he may want to speak to the audience
Hypatia: Doctor, chalk it up to
experience... it is very difficult to do phys/virtual presentations
Hypatia: Have
some helpers there both physically and virtually
Markus: so
30 minutes of goat herding and then we move into event 1
Rich: right,
virtually will be covered
Dr. Chisholm: Mark and I will have to do some choreography
cybernaut: yes
- backing persons
Markus: We
thought we would start with the cultural islands
Hypatia: have someone cut and paste
your prepared text inworld while you talk to your physical audience... works
well
Dr. Chisholm: check
Markus: don't
worry I will help you out Dr.
Dr. Chisholm: Ok nurse Mark
Markus: these cultural islands are just
a way to show learning content in an interesting visual display
Hypatia: are
there presentations for each one or open tour style?
Markus: ..get
folks jazzed up about the idea of intercultural sharing
Markus: Well, I am working with a group
of students from Univ. of Michigan to serve as sort of tour guides for each
cultural display
Dr. Chisholm: ...have a sauna
cybernaut: hehehhwe
:-)
Rich: Plus
we could have someone from each culture represented present to answer questions
:)
Dr. Chisholm: Nice. Zola, you going
to translate into Suomi?
Markus: but they are intended to just
let people wander...we were thinking of having a cultural presentation on one
of the islands...sort of one of those "movie starting every 10
minutes" kind of thing
Zola: so,
you'd be the Finn?;)
Zola: I
wasn't planning on it, no ;)
Rich: Kiitos
Rakas :)
Zola: hehe,
thanks, Rich :)
Rich: see,
i'm a part time Finn
Markus: ok...so
let's say we allot 30 minutes for the island tours...that sound ok?
Hypatia: I suggest you definitely have
structured 10 min presentations or q and a... are the islands all chat
protected?
Dr. Chisholm: what about a sound clip when you enter the zone?
HK AlanLai: Sorry
for leaving. I have to sleep now. see you all later.
Markus: Ok...how
about we start on one island and move to each
Markus: ..they
aren't very big :-)
Zola: If the island are to be zoned, instead of
a sound clip, there will be a message in blue text on the chat area.
Dr. Chisholm: it would be neat to have a sound clip of the native
languages when you enter
Dr. Chisholm: but I do like the music too
Zola: the islands themselves will have sound
clips, so it might get too heavy if the bot produced a sound as well...?
Markus: We can work on this
issue...there are four islands and we can mix up the media content to be
diverse
Zola: there
will be music, though...markus has found some great clips :)
Rich: yes, but couldn't the individual
organisation of that be left to whoever is in charge of that point, we have to
find presentations to fill the other hour of the pre-SIETAR conference as well
Hypatia: yes,
what is needed for the other hour?
Markus: Ok
8:30-9:00 goats, 9:00-9:40 cultural tours,....
Markus: so
we have 9:40-10:30 to cover next
Rich: that's 50 minutes, how about a 20 minute
presentation, followed by a 30 minute series of breakouts prior to the SIETAR
hookup ?
Markus: I
suggest we have an IEA overview at the main stage area next
Markus: I
am not sure what they will do in breakouts yet?
Markus: if
we do we need to explain what they are
Rich: we could have 2 or 3 breakouts on specific
topics giving people the choice of which to attend
Dr. Chisholm: are we doing tours of other worlds?
Hypatia: I
could do a GIS breakout in BioLearn world
Rich: how about for the breakouts we do
something related to the technology and in the other something related to an
ongoing intercultural collaboration ?
Markus: um...I think we should use
the time remaining after Jame's keynote to let folks wander the exhibits area
and mingle more
Dr. Chisholm: e.g. "Bus Leaves for Art2Unite in Five Minute"
Hypatia: The gis breakout I am
suggesting is to see the gis of who is at the conf in real and virtual world
Hypatia: and
connect it to cultural issues
Markus: maybe
it would be good to do the breakouts in different worlds??? thoughts
Dr.
Chisholm: That's important: it's hard for people here to understand
exactly how huge this thing is...
Hypatia: and
environmental sensitivity, global activism, etc.
Dr. Chisholm: we might need to show them who is where, doing what...
Rich: I think we could do breakouts similar
to last years Vlearn, that would work well, as long as we have CT rights in the
worlds on the tours to make sure people are back in time for the SIETAR hookup
Dr. Chisholm: We're going to have Houston and Austin groups watching via
big screen
Markus: If we do this we should just
gather after the cultural tour session at the main stage area, explain this and
have teleports to those locations from there
Rich: So whichever worlds are used on Breakouts
need to have their respective world owners running that breakout
Hypatia: got
it
Rich: right
Hypatia: where
is James speaking? what world? what venue?
Rich: here
, in the main conference arena
Hypatia: where
we are now?
Rich: over
by GZ
Hypatia: okay... perhaps better to do the gis by 2d web page
to bring up from any venue>?
Rich: good
idea
Zola: what
is gis?
Hypatia: Geographic
Information Systems
"Rathish": Markus, I don't want to interrupt the proceedings. But I
would have to leave now.
Zola: as
a map of a world? pardon my simplicity.
Hypatia: It allows you to visualize the
density of various areas around the globe that participants of the conference
are coming from
Hypatia: so
you see how global it really is
Dr. Chisholm: that would be terrific
Hypatia: we
can do it in a globe or on a map
"Rathish": I am sorry I couldn't be of much
help. I would get back to you with my thoughts on the log soon.
Rich: nice
Markus: bye
Rathish, thanks for coming
"Rathish": Bye.
Hypatia: 2D
3D you say potato, I say potahhhtoe
Zola: very
easily.
Hypatia: I
prefer toggling between both
Zola: i
would suggest an inworld map, though.
Hypatia: and
flying around the world
Dr. Chisholm: can we do both? I globe
here at GZ and a web page?
Hypatia: we
have the globes of all sizes in biolearn
Zola: a
globe perhaps, with pins sticking out..
Hypatia: can
do globe in biolearn
Hypatia: and
map on a web page linked to gz in here
Rich: or even a nice moving chart inworld,
something that would be tricky to do, but be extremely impressive
Rich: like
an updated barchart
Hypatia: well
possible but we need realtime specs for that
Rich: right
Hypatia: or
do it with DEM files
Hypatia: Data
elevation models
Hypatia: This
would be a first
Rich: mm,
yes
Rich: we
might be able to pull something like that off
Hypatia: Well I have eth viz folks for
that if interested but if you can do it better with bar charts...
Rich: we
can run some tests and see how we can get it to work
Zola: I'm not sure why charts of any kind would
be required...educators see such things every day..we are offering them
something completely different.
Dr. Chisholm: globe globe globe...
Hypatia: Yes basically I prefer to use
3D globes to do this and have done it successfully in the past... just not in
AW yet
Hypatia: we
built the globes but have not populated them yet with the GIS data
Hypatia: I
could try it for this event if interested
Zola: Sounds
rather interesting.
Dr. Chisholm: please do! (not that I have any idea how much work it would
take or anything)
Hypatia: but
need data in advance
Markus: what
Data?
Markus: :-)
Zola: 3d
in an environment such as this is always better than 2d.
Rich: Demogrpahics,
who's coming from where
Zola: heh,
yes, which data?;)
Hypatia: demographics
of participants
Hypatia: of
course we need some large numbers
Rich: assuming
anyone's coming :)
Markus: This might be tricky to get
accurately....might we just use some existing data....like internet connections
in different countries, etc.
Patrick M: there
is a wiki globe that wd allow participoants to add themselves?
Zola: i
think we'd have to wait for the responses to come in first...?
Markus: Start
making calls :-)
Rich: :)
Dr.
Chisholm: do you mean online
participants, or in the flesh ones?
What if they're all watching it on a screen?
Hypatia: yep
there is actually, Patrick
Hypatia: and
we use it
Hypatia: and
there is a globe interface
Hypatia: in
realtime
Rich: then
they would add their location and how many people watching at that location ?
Markus: well is this something that you
can extrapolate that data from the time they come in
Hypatia: only
if people are gps literate
Hypatia: lat/long
coords
Hypatia: but
I know we could do this
Zola: my
guess would be no
Patrick M: there
must be a site that gives you your lat long based on city query?
Markus: I'm
not sure that was a question :-)
Zola: How
about offering them that knowledge?
Hypatia: good,
yes patrick
Hypatia: if
folks could get their general latlongs
Markus: and we do need to be somewhat
careful about making this too complex for newbies
Hypatia: actually
there is a page that does that
Rich: yes,
we could get that knowledge to them
Markus: let's
help them out anyway possible :-)
Hypatia: if
you have a registration program that allows for folks to put in
city/state/country
Hypatia: we
can get that data
Markus: we
have four weeks....
Hypatia: but
you don't have an automated system for reg yes?
Markus: maybe
some could pre-enter this at the workshops
Hypatia: we
did for vlearn last year and year before but did not include city
Markus: no
we don't have autoreg
Patrick M: (we
could seed the globe with some olks we know are coming?)
Markus: just
a submission form on the website that asks for name/institution/email
Hypatia: oh
okay then best to do general map if at all
Hypatia: that
would work
Rich: But
we do now have a general layout for the summit :)
Markus: I
can change it to ask for other information
Hypatia: yes
... sorry to diverge from the virtual plan
Rich: oh
no, it was very interesting
Zola: yes,
i aggree.
Hypatia: yes if you can collect
location data, we can try to do something self-reflectively mahhhvalous
Markus: look
over here on the chart and see if you think this timeframe is good
Rich: looks
good
Markus: If
experience is any guide...i would say this will be a very tight schedule to
keep
Rich: yes
Rich: which
is why i think it is important to ensure the breakout participants are got back
here promptly
Markus: you need to leave 5 minutes
for any transition time....and it is key Dr. that the ushers help move people
on when it is time to transition
Rich: we
can help move stragglers along if need be
Dr. Chisholm: Houston: 29:45:47 N
095:21:47 W; Austin 30:16:01 N 097:44:34 W
Rich: I
can work on the details with the Dr and her team of Ushers if need be
Markus: yeah!
now we just need some humans from those locations to show up
Dr. Chisholm: zip code to lat/long URL:
http://zip.langenberg.com/
Markus: does
it work with international zip codes :-)
Dr. Chisholm: no, it's Americentric, I think
Dr. Chisholm: can we teach my ushers how to warp people?
Rich: with
bots yes, and with the respective rights in the appropriate worlds, yes
Dr. Chisholm: ok
Rich: or
get them to point out stragglers to a coordinator who will take care of it for
them
Dr. Chisholm: that's the biggest problem:
"I would go there, but I don't know where I am"
Markus: ok, well we can carry on with
these itinerary details in the Summit discussion forum and through email.
Rich: I'll
help them with that and prepare documentation
Dr. Chisholm: ok
Dr. Chisholm: brb
Markus: We
want to mention a couple items before you all run off
Zola: we
have been discussing about having a bot inworld during the conference. A bot
whose only reason to be there is to teleport people to different locations when
that location is whispered to it.
Markus: Zola
has created a space for groups to set up an exhibit for their organization....
Zola: Yes.
The Exhibitors Area.
Markus: We
would like to have each of us come up with a example display
Dr. Chisholm: good idea
Markus: something
that represents your organization affiliation
Zola: The Exhibitors Area is for
organizations, Universities, World owners, who wish to display information
about themselves to the visitors.
Hypatia: is
that here in this world?
Rich: yes
Markus: Zola
will explain what items are needed for those displays...take it away boss
Hypatia: auto
on web page to generate?
Zola: it
is right here in Unite world.
Markus: shall
we go see
Hypatia: okay
Hypatia: yup
Markus: ok,
join me in just a second
Zola: we
could go there now...if you go to GZ...and then limb up the stairs..
Zola: the
Exhibitors area is on the left.
Zola: This
part of the meeting will not take long... i simply wish to show you the area
and then tell you the details what is needed if you wish to display Your
world/organisation here.
Dr. Chisholm: what kind of things do you want here, Zola?
Zola: We
have prepared a few separate areas/corners in this Area....each corner can have
two exhibitors.
Zola: Just
getting to it, Dr.;)
Dr. Chisholm: sorry, too much coffee
Zola: Each
exhibitor will get the following:
Zola: 2
signs, 1 picture, 1 teleport or URL to their website
Hypatia: okies
Rich: he
vanished
Zola: 1.
sign will tell the name of the World or organization.
Zola: Once it is clicked, the #2, sign will
appear with a short description of that world/organization...along with a
picture object.
Dr. Chisholm: I have my info now if you want it, Zola
Zola: If
you wish to have your world or organization displayed here.. I need:
Zola: 1.
name of the world/organization
Zola: 2.
a short description of it (for the 2. sign)
(one sentence, no longer)
Zola: 3. a screenshot of the world or a
picture of the organization logo...or any other picture you wish to have here.
Zola: 4. if you are a world owner, I need the
coordinates where people will be teleported to, inside your world.
Hypatia: thanks,
Zola. we can send this info via the forum?
Zola: the
glowing triangles you see around you are to be the clickable teleports.
Zola: certainly.
Zola: a
few more things though.
Zola: please,
the picture should be 128x128 or 256x256 in size...and try to make it as small
in filesize as possible.
Zola: no
less than 13k. if this is something that causes too much trouble, just send the
picture to us as it is and we will reduce the filesize for you.
Markus: (to
Rich) we may have to take care of picture sizing
Rich: yeh
Zola: Also, if you wish to have your website
displayed here, please send the full
