News - AMRAD.org is now a Wiki.

Yes, there is a new way to add content at AMRAD.org

As a wiki, it has a sandbox

Wiki editing access is for AMRAD members, newsletter authors, meeting speakers and other invited guests.

When clicking on Edit in the left sidebar, you will authenticate yourself as a member. Your initial credentials are your callsign (in upper case) and password from your AMRAD Newsletter mailing label. (That is in the form PW#####, appearing above your name. If it is not there, then you are currently not paid up, or you have one of our complimentary copies.)

There are a few levels of confusion in the authentication process:

• Your username and password are protected in transit over the Internet by an https:// channel.

• The https:// uses the self-signed certificate of the host: atanasoff.rf.org

• Self-signed certificates used by web servers will most likely cause your browser to complain.

• Since the hostname given is not the host amrad.org, your browser will complain.

• You will have to tell your browser that you accept this connection and the certificate.

• You will then get the prompt window for your AMRAD username and password.

• Members without a callsign use last name in uppercase for a username.

• Most members will use the callsign in uppercase for a username.

• Use the password from the Newsletter label - type the PW in uppercase and the 5 digits.

• You are welcome to request another username and password pair... secure form for that will be ready soon.

• There have been two presentations given on the AMRAD Wiki: wikipresentation200811.pdf and wikipresentation200901.pdf

• And the video of the Wiki(418 Mb)Presentation is wikivideo.avi
