  Gina Blaber commented on Ron's Proposal

  Love this session. Love the abstraction.

• 
  Gina Blaber commented on TestCon February 08 Proposal

  love it!

• 
  Edd Dumbill commented on Mark's test session

  @Gina, the star in the upper-right isn’t rating, it’s “add to personal schedule”. We’ve ordered a replacement graphic for this from MDG. Before we had ratings, it made sense for it to be a star.

• 
  Gina Blaber commented on Q & A

  Looks good. But what is this bit of stray text that’s currently visible on a line below the “Q&A” header: “(end en_session_speakers)”?

• 
  Gina Blaber commented on Mark's test session

  The rating UI seems like a little problematic. Two things:

  how about adding a few words next to the star in the upper right corner, such as “Rate this session”? Right now it’s just a star, and the user is supposed to guess that clicking it will enable you to rate the session. I bet a lot of people will not intuit that. How are you actually supposed to rate the session, once you click the star? When I clicked the star just now, the session description was immediately highlighted in yellow. Beyond that … what? What is the user supposed to do next to rate the session?
• 
  Gina Blaber commented on Mark's test session

  OK, the text in the “Lists” section of the “read formatting help” page needs some fixing. It apparently doesn’t work as advertised. :-)

• 
  Gina Blaber commented on Mark's test session

  I just copied the format in the “read formatting help” section for bulleted items and numbered items, and it didn’t bullet or format the items. Doing it again here:

  item item again one two

  So, do they need to have a vertical space between them (in the text on the “read formatting help” page, to work? Trying that out here:

  item item again one two
• 
  Gina Blaber commented on Mark's test session

  I love session descriptions that are in Latin. And I love

  bulleted items

  and

  numbered items
• Mark J. Levitt commented on Q & A

  item item again one two
• Mark J. Levitt commented on Q & A

  Paragraphs

  Start a new paragraph by leaving a blank line.

  My first paragraph.

  My second paragraph.

  gives…

  My first paragraph. My second paragraph.

  Emphasis

  Use asterisks to embolden text, use underscores to create italics.

  Bold and italic

  gives…

  Bold and italic.

  Lists

  Use asterisks * to introduce unnumbered list items, and octothorpe # to introduce numbered list items.

  item item again one two

  gives

  item * item again 1. one 2. two

  Hyperlinks

  Use double quotes and a colon to create a link, for example:

  The BBC is a fine institution.

  gives…

  The BBC is a fine institution.

  Leanne Waldal commented on Q & A

  this isn’t working Use asterisks * to introduce unnumbered list items, and octothorpe # to introduce numbered list items.

  item item again one two
• 
  Leanne Waldal commented on Q & A

  not quite. try again to get a list list1 list2 list3
• 
  Leanne Waldal commented on Q & A

  aha. space required for askterisks for this
• 
  Leanne Waldal commented on Q & A

  nice that some html works as well as asterisks for that and *asterisks *for *this

  but what about pounds? #seagull #pigeon #blackbird
