The federated wiki is kind of like an airplane. You can learn to taxi it and get around the airport pretty easily. Of course taxiing around the airport with a jet is probably not the most efficient way to move around on the ground. However, if you want to fly and you want to do barrel rolls and you want to get places fast and far then you need more skills than just taxiing. Today hopefully you’ll become proficient at taxing. Later you can get in the air safely.
On another note if you do use a Fedwiki regularly for your writing, I guarantee you it will make you a better writer a better communicator and a better thinker--even while taxing.
**Initial Goals:**
* [ ] 1 Own a fed wiki site that you know how to access.
* [ ] 2 Ability to create a page, enter and edit text, and rearrange paragraphs. "Create" New Page" Command Text Editors
* [ ] 3 Ability to fork a page into your site. See Page Sharing
* [ ] 4 Ability to copy or move paragraphs between pages. Moving Paragraphs
* [ ] 5 Own and operate rosters of team members' FedWiki sites. See Roster Plugin See a list of DG Forum Rosters you can simply drag and drop onto any of your FedWiki pages. Perhaps the Welcome Visitors page for frequently used neighbors.
There can be multiple rosters in a single place. Just separate the site names with a heading followed by a blank line.

See My Rosters (Marc Pierson's) to see a pile of rosters on one page.
* [ ] 6 Create your own Site Index Pages for keeping track of content. It is just an appropriately named page with a list of hyperlinks to your pages. You can use headings to make sense of longer lists.
> See Kerry's Index Page: Access Contents Page
Of course Recent Changes and Search Neighborhood go a long way to finding what you are looking for--if it is in the current neighborhood.
* [ ] 7 For extra points, pick a nice Favicon (colored square) for your site.
Look at the DG Forum Rosters under item # 5. When you see brown icons, the site owner has not selected their own colored icon. If yours is still brown, please select a more distinguishable color. By clicking on About Flagmatic Plugin:>)
> See About Flagmatic Plugin Choose a flag that you like. The flags are color gradients that we use in lots of places. We picked gradients, you pick colors.
