Leave comments for Matthew Faulconer here.

I likely won't be checking the site for the next few days. If you need anything during that time, you might try RobertC.

I clear this page out occasionally and add links to the version right before I clear it out here.

Why not more content?

Hi, Matthew. I really like the idea of this site, especially if it is moderated - as it appears to be. What I am wondering is why there is not more content. For example, your father's lesson notes that appear on the blog should be here at a minimum - don't you think? In any case, I will be using the site more, and I will encourage others to do so. --User:Rick

Rick, since Matthew's out of town, let me reply in the meantime: Yes!
Jim has, from time to time, posted his notes here on the wiki. And, from time to time, others of us have added Jim's notes here. The problem is, quite simply, that it takes work and time to add the content here. Jim started doing his SS notes at the Time and Seasons blog before the wiki ever started, and I think it's easier for him to just type up his notes all on one page and post them to the blog (which, by the way, more users seem comfortable using...) rather than posting his questions (and comments) on various pages of the wiki. He's said he's game for transferring his notes to the wiki, it's just that it takes time, which is something all of us seem to be a bit short on....
Anyway, welcome to the wiki. If you're interested in transferring Jim's notes, or taking up any other project, we'd love some help. --RobertC 18:50, 12 October 2007 (CEST)
I admit that the Wiki is new and a little confusing. All the same, I would be willing to help transfer Jim's notes. How would I get started? --Rick 05:19, 13 October 2007 (CEST)
Rick, looks like you've already figured out the wiki on your own, nice job. Nevertheless, you can go to Philip 2:5 to see how I transferred Jim's note on that verse.
You might notice that I made some slight stylistic changes when I was removing the instructions on the pages you edited (typically we remove the instructions for each section once content is added), but these changes simply reflect my own idiosyncratic preferences, not any site-wide policy we've adopted or anything.
Thanks for the work you've already done on D&C 3, and thanks in advance for the contributions you make in the future! --RobertC 22:33, 13 October 2007 (CEST)
Is it possible to print the wiki commentary with the scriptures in context? I don't think the formatted material that I could see how to print from the wiki would be very useful. What do you think? Please tell me how you use the site. Thanks. --Rick 07:16, 14 October 2007 (CEST)

Invalid Pointer?

Hello, I just discovered this site today, and it sounds like a really great idea. I tried to click on some links leading to BYU articles (Nephi's Outline), and I got an error page saying "invalid pointer". Do you know what that's about? Thanks. Jon

Hey Jon, Glad you found the site. Probably the site hosting the BYU article on Nephi's outline changed something on their side since the link was posted. Which page is it (can you give me the link?) that has the link to Nephi's Outline which is causing problems? Thanks, --Matthew Faulconer 06:49, 30 May 2007 (CEST)

Um...

To tell you the truth, I know next to nothing about how to work in wiki. It took me a couple minutes to figure out how to reply to your message. Anyway, I do have to answer math questions still, but it says that once I confirm my email address (I think xxxxxxxxx is the one I'm using for this account, though xxxxxxxxxx is my personal address) then I won't have to answer math questions anymore. I just haven't taken the time to do that yet.

After skimming your user page, it looks like you're the founder of this whole project. Is that right? --Mjberkey 02:23, 9 July 2007 (CEST)

Yes, I started it, but others have contributed more than I have. PS I removed your e-mail addresses above because these pages, like all publicly accessible pages, are sometimes read by programs looking for e-mail addresses to spam. I hope you are enjoying participating. --Matthew Faulconer 02:55, 9 July 2007 (CEST)
Also, thanks for letting me know that the math thing is working as expected. And you are doing fine with the wiki stuff. --Matthew Faulconer 02:57, 9 July 2007 (CEST)

Hey Matthew, I've lost my user password and I requested that it be sent to my email account, but it didn't send. Could you help me out? Thanks - mjberkey --you bet. I'll check into it and figure something out. --Matthew Faulconer 06:27, 9 October 2007 (CEST)
