			== Off to sea ==

			Okay, Timo: I'm not sure what happened, why you haven't been back here, to the wiki I created for you or responded to my e-mails and posts at Flare. I've been seeing your posts at TrekBBS, so can only conclude you lost interest.

			If I am mistaken, then I apologize, but my time has run out. I'm departing for a two-month underway period and won't be able to access my server from sea to change the framework at your wiki, at least until well after I get back. If you do change your mind, feel free to experiment with your wiki, upload articles and pictures etc. Any instruction/wiki guidance by me will have to wait, since the bandwidth and time on an aircraft carrier is so limited, but feel free to bring anyone else in that you'd like to assist in the project. If you don't have an interest in the project, then no further action by you is necessary; I'll shut it down in July, if so.

			Please also be aware that I cannot be reached by my e-mail address while at sea, as google e-mail is prohibited there.

			Best of luck,
			Dan

 ===Strategy: Your Current Material===
 I can see, based on the [[DY series (Guide)|DY]] series article, you have indeed made quite a few changes to what I've already posted. (In my mind, you have the seventh printing or version, while I'm working off the sixth.) For your '''Guide''', it might be easier to post the v.7 material directly, than boosting the wiki code from here at '''SFC'''. The reason I say this is because you won't have to get into the nitty-gritty of the differences between mine and your's -just cut and paste it- and won't have to deal with all the dead wikilinks (''also'' wlinks) that will be built into my code. (We'll have templates tailor-built for '''Guide''' in which to post the data and text into.) Not really a concern until we have '''Guide''' actually up and running, but wanted you to consider that before you (mis-)realized the scope of the project, in regards to differences. When we get to that point, you can provide me with your latest version and we'll tackle it together.--[[User:Dan|Dan]] 12:42, 11 March 2008 (PDT)

 Timo, the [[Starships and Other Large Vessels (Guide)|Part I: Starships and Other Large Vessels]] 'chapter' is the only one of the three to not have anything written for it. With the focus of the ''Guide'' being primarily on starships, it would seem that it was covered by other areas (both senior and subordinate to the chapter entry), but it seems to be a bit (only slightly) odd when met on the '''Guide''' wiki. (I'm  saying this with my fan hat on.) --[[User:Dan|Dan]] 16:37, 13 March 2008 (PDT)

	~~===Strategy/Editting: Additional change needed===~~
	(Note: In reality, on more established/populated wikis, comments about certain articles are made on the articles' talk pages -called ''Discussion''- but I think they could be missed here, if we both didn't monitor the Recent Changes religiously.)
	You changed the displayed title for the DY series article on the [[Timo's Guide to Starfleet]] index page. For versatility's sake, I added brief index pages to the chapters' introductions (in this case, [[Before 2063 - The Playground (Guide)]]). So, the change you made didn't follow. Since this is a one-man wiki, its easy for me to remember to make both changes (and I've done so on the chapter intro to match the one you made).

	However, for your '''Guide''' wiki. I don't know if you'll want that same feature (small index on the chapter intro). In very largely populated wikis, like Wikipedia, minor inconsistencies will probably be quickly discovered. On your wiki, once its up and running with its own life, neither you nor I will be following every small change others make, so some small detail like that could be missed. Its probably not important, but I thought I'd point out a pitfall of my design as I saw it. --[[User:Dan\|Dan]] 12:42, 11 March 2008 (PDT)

 These conversations are going to be divided between attempts to help you with your goals in wiki-editing and strategy for the '''Guide''' wiki (I'm going to try and bold any references to the wiki itself, to differentiate from the project you've created or actual text from the project).
