Welcome.
Hey! You found the open indexing part of the project!

Sure, it looks a bit small now. All the better. You can set the tone for those who come later. The bravest were those who crossed the Oregon trail when it was early and rough.

The Core Index.
Attached are 150 (more or less) people and events
of interest to most students. By creating a page, you'll help launch an index much more useful than the normal search engines.

Feedback
You will shape the project. As you develop a page, you'll likely find suggestions for changing the templates, adding deeper info, organizing things, making it look better. Please send them forward. Many heads produce good software.
Post in the forum, or send it to Ed Jones

Build A Directory Page
Kind folks that we are, we've provided templates for building the
index pages.
    Person Template
   
Event Template
And also some guidelines so that we can arrive at a more or less
standard product.
    Guidelines

The templates, the guidelines, the whole process is still being written for the first time.
