Images: needs function to upload images

There seems to be a possibility here: "A group of wikis may have designated one "preferred wiki" to upload files to, with sharing of those files enabled. Among Wikimedia wikis, Wikimedia Commons works for this. If images are uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, they can be used in all Wikimedia wikis." (Help:Images and other uploaded files). However, i think we should also create our own upload possibility for files. ----

Manual:Configuring file uploads. I think this needs to be done by changing settings in the server. --John Eagles 23:44, 17 December 2011 (PST)
This page tells more about uploading files --John Eagles 23:46, 17 December 2011 (PST)

Discussing the goals and format of this site

Here's the outcome of today's prayer and meditation about the purpose of this site:

I would like to make it entirely a website to present and moderate training courses. That means that it won't just function as a regular encyclopedia. There are several useful encyclopedia already on the internet, for example the Wikipedia, the New World Encyclopedia. This is not just about providing information and knowledge, but it is to help people in their efforts to grow internally, to acquire useful skills and knowledge and to practice it. All information presented should be part of a study course, or a practical course, or a religious course. There can be several courses and we can invite people to write a course. For example, i know someone who could write a course to learn the craft of cabinet-making. Much information would be needed for that, probably many pages. But besides these pages there has to be a structure to guide a student through the course, probably including tests. Charles could write a course to make wine. Etc. Of course i shall write courses based on my expertise. There could be more than one course in learning the Divine Principle. We can help students to go through such a course using all kinds of learning aids, videos, diagrams, tests, etc. --John Eagles 09:33, 18 December 2011 (PST)

My feeling at the moment is to make this a broader encyclopedia-type site, in which i can use certain pages as part of a curriculum. These pages probably need prohibition for free editing. --John Eagles 23:46, 17 December 2011 (PST)

Logo for this site

Maybe something for you Charles? Eagle + Rock = Heaven + Earth = Spirit world and physical world united --John Eagles 23:50, 17 December 2011 (PST)

More buttons can be included, such as for tables. See Help:Edit toolbar --John Eagles 01:50, 18 December 2011 (PST)
