Hyperviews Online returns
Message from the Online SIG Manager, April 25, 2006
From 1994 to 2002, the Online SIG published a newsletter, Hyperviews Online. In 2005 the Online SIG resumed publishing news and information on a static website: http://stcsig.org/oi, where you will also find all the issues of Hyperviews Online through 2002.
This site brings Hyperviews Online back as a continuously updated publication, and replaces the static site. We are using the WordPress open source content management software for Hyperviews Online.
To start, we will use the default theme and its default characteristics, except for changes we can make in the administration panel without extensive editing of the PHP code. That allows us to post meaningful information quickly, and we can figure out the customizations we want to make as we go along.
You are invited to leave a comment. To prevent spam, the administrator often approves all comments so please post just once. If you are an Online SIG member you are invited to register and become a contributor. If you’d like to be a contributor, please write to the SIG manager, ann@annlwiley.com.
Because this post is receving a lot of spam, we’ll close it to comments. There is some information about workflow in the comments, that we need to append here.
A member with the “Contributor role” is a Contributor and can submit comments, write posts (that is, write and edit), and manage posts and comments. This includes viewing posts and comments from a list.
Members with the “Author role” can submit comments, write posts (that is, write and edit), and manage posts and comments. This includes viewing posts and comments from a list. An Author can publish posts, while a contributor can post drafts only. An author can also upload files.
Members with the “Editor role” can submit comments, write and edit posts and pages, and manage posts, pages, categories, and comments. This includes viewing posts and pages from a list, and editing and deleting both. An Editor can view all categories and comments in a list, create, edit, and delete categories, and moderate, edit and delete comments. An Editor can also add and manage links.
A member with the “Administrator role” can do everything that an Editor can do, and change many characteristics of the site as well. This includes changing the presentation, working with plugins, adding and modifying the permissions of users, setting options, and importing comments.
