Nov. 4

Added 4 participants to particpants list. User:Krajshree user name not verified by robot (manual registration). User:Endris_umer currently registered for both EL4C31 and EL4C32.

Nov. 12

• Added Wiki discussion page.
  • Added Introductions discussion page
  • Added Learning Contract Project discussion page
• Modified absolute links in workshop schedule to be relative links so that the page is easier to transfer to subsequent eL4C workshops.
  • Fixed a link in to Learning Contract Project discussion that looked broken as it was referring to an anchor in the general discussion page instead of the specific discussion page.
• Modified Template:EL4C31 Instructions to Template:EL4C Instructions so that it is general an does not need to be modified for subsequent workshops.

Nov. 13

Created the following template Template:Create eL4C wiki discussion subpage that can be used to populate the wiki discussions subpage. As an example for eL4C32, we could copy and paste

{{Create eL4C wiki discussion subpage|Number=32}}

(via transclusion) or

{{subst:Create eL4C wiki discussion subpage|Number=32}}

(via substitution) where Number corresponds to the eL4C number into the appropriate workshop page. I have not looked into using this in an input box like the registration. I have created other templates that should make it easier to copy and paste specific discussion subpages into subsequent workshops (see Category:EL4C templates).

Nov. 14

• Registration of Bernard Areseb was attributed to User:Becima as there was not username in the registration record and the page history attributed the edit to the above. (: User:Becima has been moved to a different workshop by User:JimTittsler)
• There are five discussion pages associated with EL4C1. I have created Template:Create introductions discussion page,Template:Create thoughts about wikis discussion page,Template:Create why oers discussion page, Template:Create learning contract project discussion page, and Template:Create wiki questions discussion page that should make it is easier to recreate the intial pages for subsequent workshops. The substitution syntax on the template pages can be cut and pasted into the appropriate workshop pages with Number equal to the eL4C workshop number.
• All five discussion pages associated with the workshop have now been created.

• Attempted to add Sanjay to L4C google group. Patricia tried for Gladys but got a "not allowed" message. Gladys does not show up in the user list.
