I'm pleased to announce a new event called the Jaws scripting forum. It will
take place every Saturday afternoon at 3:00 PM U S Eastern time. This is
8:00
PM Universal time. This event will be held on for the people in the room
called "the Jaws scripting forum". You will find the JAWS scripting forum
room
in "the special interest rooms" category .
It will consist of two to two and a half hours of lecture and discussion.
During the first hour we will have a lecture on a beginning scripting
subject.
The second hour will be a roundtable discussion by experienced scripters.
They will share their knowledge on specific scripting topics and scripting
problems
and take questions from other participants in the forum.
This structure for the forum is only a loose structure for the beginning of
the event. It will certainly evolve from there and I feel sure that everyone
will benefit, no matter what level of scripting you have attained.
In future weeks, we may make adjustments to such things as the time the
event is held, or we may even add additional times which might include more
structured
courses and specific scripting projects. For now, you are invited to attend
the Saturday afternoon session. Your attendance to the scripting forum will
help ensure the success of the project and we will all improve our scripting
skills by participating.
If you haven't yet joined ForThePeople, and you want to attend the event, I
recommend you join ForThePeople as soon as possible. Joining ForThePeople
involves
an easy registration process. You can make this happen by going to
www.for-the-people.com
and then clicking Enter on the Join link. Please read the policies before
submitting your application.
You'll be asked to choose two nicknames. These are the names by which you
will be known in the rooms. I suggest that frequent contributors to this
list
use, as one of their nicknames, the name by which they are known on this
list.
You will need a microphone and a sound card to participate in the rooms. A
multichannel sound card is recommended. You must receive confirmation before
you
enter a room. Also, you will need to enable the Allow Session Cookies option
in Internet Explorer in order to enter the room smoothly. The Allow Session
Cookies option is found in the Advanced Settings button of the Privacy tab
of the Internet Options in Internet Explorer 6 Tools menu. For step by step
instructions, visit the Help link on the ForThePeople front page.
If you do the initial steps to join the site, enter a room, and check that
your microphone is working correctly, you will have a smooth and beneficial
experience
at the start of this exciting event.
Beginning and advanced scripters alike are encouraged to attend. I know that
we've all wished for the opportunity to pick the brains of other scripters,
when we get stuck on a scripting issue. This list has provided an excellent
way of doing this, and will certainly continue to be the major way to share
ideas and information on scripting. The JAWS Scripting Forum is intended to
augment the great resource that is this list, and offer real time feedback
about questions that sometimes are more easily asked in realtime.
I hope to see you all there in Saturday afternoon at 3:00 Eastern time. Try
to be there early.
Thanks
Steve Shepherd
