[dave-on-air]: hi bob

[elderbob]: HI Dave.

[James]: You would think this is something that Adobe would be all over as it is not just an issue that is faced by schools

 [James]: They would also be able to deal with the print issue

 [dave-on-air]: print issue?

[James]: HTML doesn't format for A4 too well

 [dave-on-air]: why print it?

[James]: I was also thinking EBay nailed the repuatation issue some year ago

[James]: Some people will want to

[James]: Some people wont have computers for every student

[elderbob]: Is the conference call off?

 [JeffLebow]: yes

 [JeffLebow]: sorry ebob]

[[elderbob]]: Ok.

 [elderbob]: Sound is poor....let me  reboot

[JeffLebow]: try channel 2

 [JeffLebow]: lower bitrate

 [dave-on-air]: true [James]... but printing doesn't really solve the issue

 [dave-on-air]: not a big cost differential printing-textbook

[elderbob]: Much better.

[DougSymington]: dave--discussions need to be archived prior to deletion

 [DougSymington]: the ones associated with wiki dev. that is

 [dave-on-air]: history?

 [DougSymington]: of how the def comes into being

 [JeffLebow]: [James], you're up

 [dave-on-air]: [James]... turn off your webcast

 [JeffLebow]: Please turn your webcast off

[DougSymington]: within the wiki itself--so when I come late to the conversation, I'd like to be able to see how "common knowledge" was reached

 [dave-on-air]: ah.

 [dave-on-air]: i see

 [DougSymington]: too funny, re turn off of stream. The 'cast nazis

 [dave-on-air]: yes, we have learned over the years

 [DougSymington]: believe me, as I was saying last night, I have a whole new appreciation

[dave-on-air]: ;)

[dave-on-air]: http://www.educationexchange.com/

[DougSymington]: do they host all the edLMS courses on their own servers?

[dave-on-air]: good question

[dave-on-air]: [James] you have cut out

 [James]: Thanks

[dave-on-air]: thanks very much for coming [James]

[JeffLebow]: http://wikispaces.com

 [JeffLebow]: Xinha  https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1449

 [DougSymington]: too true re wikis

 [DougSymington]: I was telling Dave the same thing earlier this week re the interface

 [JeffLebow]: http://www.feedxs.com

[DougSymington]: that was Art re Xinha, I think

 [dave-on-air]: you can claim it anyway

[JeffLebow]: http://omgili.com/

[James]: For anyone who is implementing a wiki and wants to add WSYWYG try Tiny MCE tinymce.moxiecode.com. Open source and works with every browser I've tested

 [dave-on-air]: http://www.weblogg-ed.com/discuss/msgReader$4550

[DougSymington]: Ben was saying last week that they're using Tiny in Elgg and it is working well

[JeffLebow]: AT&T's famous slogan "Reach out and touch someone" will be replaced by "Your world, delivered." The new tagline is designed to emphasize the many facets of communication that AT&T handles, including voice over IP. Oasis' song is called "All Around the World."    Blogs will also play a role in jazzing up the AT&T brand. One advertisement will include a view of Earth from space with pictures of individuals communicating, and feature the words "Blogging, delivered."
