- Collaborative Document sharing
- I have a somewhat generic question related to editors in general. I feel this discomfort with current state of document creation. Let me explain.
In the beginning there were just simple text editors. Then they got more sophisticated, visual, WYSIWYG, culminating with products such as MS Word and alike. This is all great, but the document is stored in [?] - No TOC
- This one stumps me. I thought tables of content were generated automatically in WikiEd. I have a sub page of my user page where the TOC does not appear. See: [link] I have compared it to all my other sub pages, and do not recognise anything which would cause that. [?]

- Template help
- I have been collecting and annotating lots of links to OER directories and repositories. [link]
Now I would like to have a template for a one line status indicator that can include a few basic bits of information from pull-down menus (so I don't have to remember / lookup the values every time), and [?] - MERLOT to promote WikiEducator
