Hi, There is something to be said for both sides about whether or not to create a wiki page so people can share the pictures they have taken when they have visited the desert in Southern California-Arizona this year. On the one hand we try to keep our topics and our wiki focused on geophytes. And we have avoided creating temporary pages that create an additional burden for those of us who manage the wiki. On the other hand many members of this list are going to see the flowers and I am sure there are people in this group who wish they could go who would like to see the pictures. Since we don't allow attachments, the wiki is our only resource for sharing our pictures. Here is my compromise. I have created a temporary wiki page that I have linked to the miscellaneous page. I will remove it some time later, maybe this summer. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Here are the guidelines I requesting you use if you wish to add pictures to it. 1. When you announce new pictures, please use Desert Wild Flowers in the subject so those people who wish us to stay on topic can delete those messages. 2. Any pictures you add that are not geophytes MUST be named with Desert as the first word. This will enable me to remove them all at once later so I won't have to keep track of an assorted list of different names and remove them one at a time. Geophytes should be labeled in the usual fashion as they can become a permanent addition to the wiki. 3. I'm not going to have time to add pictures for anyone or to help anyone who is new to using the wiki if they need help with non-geophytes. If Arnold or someone else comfortable with using the wiki is willing to help people through the process or to add desert pictures for them, please announce this to the group. Those of you who need help please make note of any volunteer help and contact that person privately. I hope this compromise will work for everyone. Mary Sue
