yo bloods,

I just did some work on the pbwiki. I posted my skillset because i'm an intrepid trailblazer. Then I made a page for all the skillsets (just make your name a link to your skillset when you post it) and put a link to that in the sidebar. There's also placeholders in the sidebar for Contacts, Equipment and Documentation. I figure we can create those pages when we have something to put there.

PBwiki is really fuckin dope and easy to use, especially for quickly whipping up a bunch of interlinked pages. I'm intrigued by the plugins - like the one at the top of my skillset that autogenerates a table of contents based on the header titles. Also the portfolio function looks cool but I havent dove into it yet. But it says you can use it to have pdfs, files, slideshows, etc on a wiki page.

Next step - get the massiveexchange igoogle going on, with different tabs for an RSS feed of this blog, feeds from our flickr accounts, pbwiki, calendar, etc.

skillset pages

So after fiddling with the layout of the blogger page for a while it still looks like our skill set and mission statement stuff should be up on a personal page on our PBwiki. Blogger has a 1200 character limit on what you can say about yourself in the "About Me" section. this will not suffice for the kind of information we need to communicate to each other.

I just set this PBWiki account that is private at the moment. This can be a place where we post stuff like processes that we know how to do that we'd like to share with the group (how to make legit samples/loops from vinyl, how to weld a tall bike without dying, how to upload files to our FTP). This would also be a great place make an entry about each member of the exchange, on which of course we can post our skillsets and our mission statements about what we want to bring to the table.

I haven't made my own yet, because it's ungodly late right now but if anyone is feeling ambitious to put a wiki entry up it sounds like the things everyone's looking to get out of the personal info is:
-Mission statement/who I am/what's my deal/about me blurb
-Skills that your masterful and passionate about
-skills that your decent and proficient at
-things you would like to learn or are interested in eventually pursuing
also,
-maybe some of the key contacts that you could call upon that could be helpful to the exchange
