~&You may want to check out [[http://www.moodle.org Moodle]], a socio-centric educational CMS (open source, of course!) that might give you some new ideas to think about! --BrianKoontz

My name is Doug. I'm an elementary school teacher from Alaska who recently discovered wikis. I'm using Wikka Wiki as a digital notebook, a place to document my classroom teaching practice. Currently I am using it to keep and comment on my lesson plans so that I can -maybe- build an archived resource that will help with planning during the next few years.
I'm also recording some of my theoretical musings about education and learning theory. The site is at [[http://truenorth.northernattitude.org Northernattitude.org]]

==True North Development Issues==
I appreciate any efforts to help me with the glitchy problems I seem bound to run into. I was in the process of writing a blog entry praising JavaWoman's efforts when I checked this page to make sure I had the link right and noticed her comment about my rss feed. I began responding in the comments field when I decided to just go ahead create a section on this page for this discussion. If we want to delete (or use) any part of this when we get things straightened out that's fine with me. I took the curly brackets out of the references to the rss feeds for the sake of reporting, without displaying, the problem. Put them back in to see what I'm talking about.
I used rss http://dev-server.northstar.k12.ak.us/doug/denali/blogs/xmlsrv/rss2.php?blog=1 to generate the feed on the wiki at [[http://truenorth.northernattitude.org/wikka.php?wakka=StudentBlogging the class blog page]]. When I try that in Thunderbird I get "not a valid feed." Then I tried the bloglines feed I set up at [[http://www.bloglines.com/public/dnoon my bloglines noon_bloggers folder]].
It looks fine at bloglines, but on [[http://truenorth.northernattitude.org True North]] rss http://dev-server.northstar.k12.ak.us/doug/denali/blogs/xmlsrv/atom.php?blog=1 only displays the error message. This doesn't make sense to me because nothing behaves the same in different places. The blog is on a paranoid locked-down development server that my school district uses for their vocational ed program. The blog is at a [[http://dev-server.northstar.k12.ak.us/doug/denali/blogs/index.php Noon_Bloggers]] They have apache configured to discourage browsing directories, and they are running PHP 5 on.
~&Thanks for all the data - that made it easier for me to do a bit of analysis. **With [[JwRssTest depressing results]].** Sorry about that. Certainly not your fault, let alone a typo as I suspected at first - it seems to be purely an Onyx-RSS problem. We'll be looking for a replacement to use with Wikka - but first I'll try to find a workaround to get rid of the silly errors. One thing is sure: it does not support the Atom format at all and we are **not** going to "fix" that, so use one of the other three formats in your wiki. More as I find more... --JavaWoman
~&I've created a klugey workaround that will at least not clutter up your page with useless error messages; you can always check the HTML suorce to see if there are any. I've installed it on this site as a beta. See JwRssTest for the code - just **grab** the code (use the button to download); make a backup copy of ##/actions/rss.php## (for instance rename it to rss_orig.php) and replace the file with the downloaded code. It's just a band-aid, but it should help some. If you need help with that, let us know. --JavaWoman
JavaWoman may also notice that I am running True North on a new subdomain, and I still can't work out the mod_rewrite issues. I'm up for an IRC session to see if we can take care of that problem as well. If I check in around 11:00 pm Alaska time on Sunday, I wonder if that would work? If schedules and time differences are a problem with IRC (I'm about as far away as a person could be, I think) support from here may get the job done as well.
~&I //was// keeping an eye on things, and noticed that you first got the 'wiki' subdomain working, and next the 'truenorth' subdomain. Congrats! I reckoned you went to bed after that (some links from your blog don't work now, but maybe you're just leaving that till it's all as you want it?). Getting the mod_rewrite working now //should// be straightforward, but maybe you've messed around with it too much by now :) Anyway, Sunday for IRC is fine - a little bit earlier is fine, too - I don't usually get up later in the weekend. I'll be around, and maybe I can convince DarTar to be there as well. We'll get you sorted, I'm sure. And it will be fun to "talk" in real time :) --JavaWoman
~~&I forgot about the blog links! I should hire you to keep an eye on me. I'll talk to you at the #wikka channel Sunday eve (Alaska time)-I've never //used// IRC to do anything. So the teacher is going to get another lesson.
~~~&Just gave myself one: Sunday eve in Alaska is **Monday** morning in the Netherlands! Duh. Not that it matters time-wise. Hope the hints on TheLounge are enough to get you started with IRC. For any lurkers - feel free to join in the fun and remember timezones... ;-) --JW 'Eagle Eye'

My name is Doug. I'm an elementary school teacher from Alaska who recently discovered wikis. I'm using Wikka Wiki to develop a site for teachers to collaboratively develop classroom research projects.
I am not a web developer - just a teacher who wants to use socially enbabled software to find out if maybe there is a better way to do things. It seems that the more I learn, the more I want to do.
And so I am becoming...progressively...a geeky teacher.
