1.  Team Publishing Pitfalls
 

• Writing over another's work (Ellen and Frada will demonstrate)
• Mitch writes the following:  A number of people are forgetting that the URL for the Publish function in Composer is:

ftp://cuip.uchicago.edu/home/USERNAME/www/

and they only use as far as home/USERNAME.  The files get successfully
uploaded, but you won't see them anywhere in the Navigator browser.  Only
files in the www folder (or in some subfolder under that) show up when you
use a browser and look in

http://cuip.uchicago.edu/~USERNAME

(And why is *that*? Because people do some things with their computer
accounts besides publish web pages, so they need a way to distinguish what
they want the web server to publish from what they don't want to share with
the whole world.  The way that has evolved is to distinguish that by where
a file is located, with a designated location for each user being shown by
the web server.  Besides "www", some systems use "html" or "public_html".)

Anyway, the moral of the story is; Don't forget the "www" when you publish
in Composer!
 

• Check to make sure you really did publish your page!  Type, without the quotes, "http://cuip.uchicago.edu/~username/" - this will bring you to your directory.  Your page should be listed here - click the name of your page and it will open in navigator.
• Work with the latest version of whatever you are working on (to access the latest version, retrieve it from the cuip server by typing in the URL - http://cuip.uchicago.edu/~username/ - this will bring you to your directory; click on the document you want to open; click File, click Edit Page, and go for it!)  In addition to saving to disk and hard drive on your computer, PUBLISH YOUR PAGE!  This ensures that it won't get "lost!"
• Make sure everyone on your team knows what you have named each file
• Keep good notes - COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE

• Post any messages for your team mates using the Beta Message Center
• You will need more than the amount of time you have in class to complete your modules!
• Ellen can stay until 2:00 on Tuesday and Thursday if you wish to work in the lab.
• Monday, we meet for a plenary session with Robin Burke at BSLC 001 at 9:00.

• Saving and importing bookmarks

• Use ftp or fetch

• Publish a draft of your curriculum guide today!  You can always retrieve it and edit it tomorrow!
• Remember to assign parts of the module to each team member - if everyone shares in the work, it will be completed in a timely fashion!
• You may publish to your personal directory OR to your project folder - Both the browse URL and upload URL are posted.  Write down both URLs in your notes.  During next week's presentations, we will access your team's project through your browse URL.
