I've created a SharePoint site for the Birth of the Federation 2 Consortium. It is located at . This will provide a shared online workspace where members of the community can share files and ideas in a single well-organized place.

The top-level site will contain anything that is not specific to a single project (i.e. BotE or Supremacy). I have created a sub-site specific to Supremacy, and I can create one for BotE as well.

I encourage everyone to check this out. With luck, all of the BotF2 content will be posted here in the near future. This will make it much easier to find relevant and up-to-date information without having to dig through all of the forum posts.

Everyone has read-only access to the site. I will create accounts for anyone who contributes to any of the BotF2 projects, as well as any of the forum regulars who have been around long enough to be trustworthy .

If you would like an account, please reply to this thread with your e-mail address and your desired display name. If you don't want to post your e-mail address, you can send it to me in a PM.

my! is that site cool (&fast btw., even with my crappy 56k modem at home )

you know my email addy mike, as well as my name. Put me up

Done, Malvoisin. Check your e-mail for your login information.

awesome!

this is quite cool

Great!

I've created a sub-site for BotE and given owner privileges to SirP and Malvoisin so they can modify the site layout. You can customize the individual pages as well as add new lists and libraries. You can also create nested sites (I added a Developer's Blog to mine).

thx. first off we'll only use it for user-content stuff. See about the dev blog later on when things speed up again a little.

btw. I recognized some smaller things while browsin on the site.

for example when I enter the site via plain http://www.botf2.com then I cannot see the group members or the link to it which should be above the "view all site content" on the left hand menu.

I can only get there if I use the password changing link and "change" my password. Maybe I just don't see

also in opera, the submenus in the buttons "Action" or "View" like for example in the image library don't work. With the IE it works again. Guess it's opera

SharePoint is a Microsoft product, and so it works best with Internet Explorer. It works fine for me in Mozilla as well. I don't have much control over the design. Well, I do, but I'd rather not mess with it, as I don't have much experience doing SharePoint web development.

BTW, you'll need to use the "Sign In" link at the top-right corner of the site if you want to add or modify content (if you're not logged in). You should also have a "Site Actions" menu on the far right side of the top navigation bar when you're inside the BotE site.

nah it's ok. the site looks awesome resp. perfect and I hope we can fill it with life soon although that depends on our time of course.

anyway good job, mike. appreciate it.

I totally understand the free time issue. I'm just lucky to have a lot of free time this semester (my last semester ). It'd be nice if you uploaded some screenshots when you get the time.
