edit New to this site and need a friend

Hi Brandon:

I'm new and would like to get connected. The pages said I could announce my arrival to developers of this site and they would help. Initially, I would like to connect to a community. I would also like to know how to update my talk page so that I can upload photos, post articles, and contribute to this site. Thanks for all help.

edit "Almost-top-level" domains

I see that that AboutUsBot can now automatically add domains in the format *.ny.us (nd likewise for the other state abbreviations), although domains such as Mesd.k12.or.us cannot be added automatically. Could you please add edu.pk , gc.ca, mb.ca, nu.ca and nf.ca to the list of "almost-top-level" domains, so that domains such as mul.edu.pk can be added automatically? Some additional domains are listed at SuggestionBox. --Eohippus 05:16, 1 October 2007 (PDT)

edit Can you help me

Hi There!

I am a business owner and I have just discovered your site which is wonderful. I was wondering if you can head me in the right direction. I am wanting to build an online shopping cart. I have downloaded a couple to find they are either too basic or very complicated as I have no web skills. Could you maybe recommend one if you know of any that you think would suit a person with limited skills in Web. I like the idea of buying software to select a template and edit myself although the template purchase is also suited to my needs as I want to have a shopping cart asap. I am a big supporter of open source software rather than big commercial company brands.

I would really appreciate your help.

edit License tagging for Image:Foo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Foo.jpg. AboutUs gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on AboutUs, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have a link to where they are from and a rational on how AboutUs is legally allowed to use them.

edit Thanks Brandon

Hi Brandon thanks for the comments, I am only doing them as I stumble across them, I have a couple of suggestions as well, we perhaps could expand on the adult content button to include sites that a risque.... Also the other suggestion was that we have a message page available to registered members perhaps to insert into a site that we keep having problems with so that when we keep returning or it flags up particular problems and we have contemperous notes to look at made by a editor.

Also please feel free to leave a comment on my Feature me application for Activefind.net

edit TempTalkPageBot

Hey there!

I have a question for you. One of my two newest bots - TempTalkPageBot - deletes TempTalkPages that haven't been edited for 2 months or more (unless the {{nowikibot}} template is in the page). In order to be able to delete pages, it was given peerrev status. However, since peerrev people cannot now delete pages, the bot is now deprived of its function. Is there anything that could be done just to give the bot delete permissions - I'm not asking for sysop rights.

Hi Brandon,

It was great to meet you this past wiki wednesday. I understand it's one of your brainchildren, so congratulations on an excellent event. I'd love to talk to you more about democracyLab sometime soon. I've had a lot of interesting conversations about it this week, and I think a good idea popped into my head last night.

All the software developers I've met with recently have recommended getting something functional up now, and then problem solving from there. This means shrinking the size of the problem initially, which for this project should make it a lot more manageable.

I've helped the Bus Project with some of the planning for their Rebooting Democracy conference taking place January 11-13. They're having a "Policy Battle Royale", where different people will submit policy proposals, and finalists win volunteer days, media coverage, maybe a meeting with the Governor, etc. The idea that popped into my head last night was rapidly energizing enough developers to build a version of democracyLab that could be used to judge the policy contest, and having computer stations around the conference space where people could vote. I think it would increase interest in the contest, add to the conference's cutting edge feel, and be a great proof of concept for democracyLab.

I haven't run this by anyone at the Bus Project yet, but I imagine that if they thought it was feasible they'd be into it. I thought I'd bounce it off of you for a sanity check. What do you think?

Thanks again for the hospitality on wednesday-

Mark

edit Establishing contact

Hi Brandon,

You tried to contact me around the time omidyar.net was closing shop.

I have been coping with some things (family member diagnosed with cancer) and I failed to respond then. I am still very much interested creating a place for Solseed to exist, thrive, and grow new members.

I signed up on the AboutUs Solseed page, although it does not seem to have been very active.

Perhaps it could be more so? --Kevin | talk 18:20, 11 January 2008 (PST)

edit Second contact

Hi Brandon, hope I'm doing this correctly. I have replied to you on the Solseed talk page.

edit Back at you

Hey Brandon!

Was interested to read about GrassCommons.org after seeing it on your page. A friend recently directed me to wiserearth, a directory linking people in "helping" endeavors. Really I think we are moving towards a number of new approaches to sustainability.

I have been inviting some friends to come take a look at the SolSeedMovement.

Am in the process of some more overt recruitment. Hmm. "Recruitment" sounds a bit militaristic.

Shall we say invitations?

edit MediaWiki API

First off, Happy Easter! Second, the MediaWiki API seems to have dissappeared when CompostUs arrived. Now all my bots won't work. Was this intentional? Or maybe it just moved to another place instead of api.php? Or has it been completely redesigned? I await your response.
