Talk:Family safety with technology

2010-07-19T16:39:10Z

Mcdanielca:

==Introduction==
More general introduction to include topics that are not necessarily internet-related? Existing introduction would be good for the main Internet topic page.

==Table of Contents==

== Article Titles ==

I'm concerned about the titles of many of these articles. Remember that this is part of a larger wiki. So an article that is simply titled "Passwords" or "Search" or "Privacy" is too generic and will be confusing in the larger context. After all, the proposed article will definitely not be intended to cover the subject of "Passwords," for example; rather, it will probably cover the topic of safe practices for using passwords on the Internet. Simple titles may also conflict with article titles in the clerk content or other content that may be added.

One possible approach is to append "(Family Safety)" to each article. Thus an article might be "Passwords (Family Safety)" or "Search (Family Safety)". The links in the main Family Safety article could still be the simple text (e.g., '''<nowiki>[[Passwords (Family Safety)|]]</nowiki>''' would produce [[Passwords (Family Safety)|Passwords]]), since the MediaWiki syntax of following a article title with a simple pipe character causes parenthetical text to be omitted. -- [[User:Aebrown|Aebrown]] 19:55, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

: Thanks for the tip! I made the changes to the article titles. [[User:smithmj|smithmj]]

== Overhaul ==

This wiki section will be getting much more attention in the near future. In an effort to make this more user-friendly, I suggest an overhaul to this wiki section. I suggest changing this to more of a standard wiki page, which is an overview of the "Family Safety" topic - including such things as: Why do we have technologies like the Internet today (i.e., to further the work of the Lord), why do we need to worry about safety (i.e., Satan is working hard to corrupt this work), etc. We would then have a nav bar that lists the items that are currently on this page (but a much smaller list), and allow for easy navigation among the key items.

The nav bar would have three sections, as follows: Section one: The Internet, Mobile Devices, Social Networking, Email. Secion two: (title) Media Choices, links: TV/Movies, Video Games, Online Games/Virtual Worlds. Section three: (title) Common Concerns, links: Pornography, Malicious Software, Identity Theft.

Each of those major pages would also have the following sub-sections: Overview, Uplifting uses, Dangers, Advice from the Brethren, Tips & Suggestions, Additional Resources.

Since I helped to create this section last year, and there has not been much change since then, I will move forward with these changes fairly quickly unless there is discussion/concerns that quickly surface.

: I think this does need an overhaul. But be aware that the redesign of the wiki that Cassie and Tom are working on gives prominence to a "Internet & Family Safety Wiki Menu"; I'm not sure that what you propose fits well with that. But I suppose we still could have a menu page that is similar to what exists now, with a Family Safety article like what you propose above. Personally, I prefer the proposal above, but I just want to be sure we don't make changes that are at cross purposes with what Cassie and Tom are planning to implement shortly.

: The {{tl|FamilySafetyIndex}} will also have to be overhauled. Note that this nav template has support for a section at the bottom for subarticles. So under "Malicious Software" that section would contain links to Adware, Spyware, Viruses, and Worms. That's probably still a handy mechanism for this area of the wiki.

: Just some small points: instead of "the Brethren" I think we should use "Church leaders"; you don't see any Church publications these days that use the phrase "the Brethren." And of course, sections and articles should not use title case. But I certainly do like the overall direction -- especially the new overview article on family safety and the structure of the recommended article sections to teach uplifting uses, dangers, etc. -- [[User:Aebrown|Aebrown]] 18:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

: Alan - Thanks for the comments. I am aware of the new front-end, which will direct users to a section entitled "Protect your family when using the Internet", which I had understood was going to point to this page. This was specifically one of the catalysts to my suggestion for overhaul. I am not familiar with the exact wording of "Internet & Family Safety Wiki Menu", or where it would show up, but I believe that the general direction that I propose above will still fit very nicely into that category. I would love to hear from Tom and/or Cassie on that front. I will touch base with them.

: One of the additional thoughts I have been having about this is the different audiences that would consume this section of the wiki. Much of the tech.lds.org wiki is targeted at clerks and those with some technical abilities - whereas, this section is targeted more at those who don't have much technical experience, namely mothers, fathers, grandparents, etc. I want to ensure this is as easy to navigate as possible, and that the information is presented in non-tech speak wherever possible. To that end, I was actually thinking about removing some of the sub-sections, and trying to simplify the content considerably. For example, non-techies don't really know the different between MMS, text messaging, chat rooms and online chatting. We could remove all of these subsections (or possible subsections), and simply adress the larger issues very simply in a mobile computing or cell phone topic. This would remove the need for the sub-sections altogether. I would love to hear your thoughts. - Ken 19:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

::Ken, as far as I am concerned, the whole family Internet safety section is yours to maintain. If you feel that it is better to rename or re-categorize items, then I support it. The only thing that I want to make sure happens is that we adhere to our wiki standards for the whole site. If there are requirements that are unique to your area, please bring them up to the wiki council, otherwise, let's keep the same standards in place. Make sense? It looks like your desires are to broaden the category more than what I had. Specifically I am not sure what you intend with the TV/Movies area but I think we need to stay away from targeting certain movies or songs within the articles. Whereas we may mention many of the web filtering products by name, we should avoid mentioning specific music, tv shows, movies, games, etc. by name unless there is a very clear reason why we are doing that. We are not trying to create a list of tv shows that are acceptable, for example. [[User:Welchtc|Tom Welch]] 19:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

:::Tom - thank you - I think we are in complete agreement. With regard to the TV/movies section, my intent was just to expand the current topic (Television), which has no content as of yet, to include movies, and to make it consistent with Elder Ballards urging to be cautious with regard to all of our media choices. I do not plan to make any specific suggestions regarding movie titles or television programs - just general guidance following direction from the Church. I would also include here information about TV rating systems, parental controls on DVD players, satellite dish systems, etc. I will get to work on this overhaul ASAP. - Ken 19:34, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

:: Ken, I find it difficult to agree with your statement "I was actually thinking about removing some of the sub-sections, and trying to simplify the content considerably. For example, non-techies don't really know the different between MMS, text messaging, chat rooms and online chatting. We could remove all of these subsections (or possible subsections), and simply adress the larger issues very simply in a mobile computing or cell phone topic. This would remove the need for the sub-sections altogether."

:: To use your example, there are huge differences between MMS, chat rooms, and online chatting. Each has specific implementations. If we really want to help non-techie parents, they need some specifics. If we are too vague, they may end up thinking that if they disable Instant Messenger on their computer, they are safe. But chat rooms are a different threat, and texting on a cell phone is completely different. I think the high-level articles will be wonderful, but it would be a big mistake to remove all the detailed articles. Besides, I really don't understand the push towards eliminating details in the context of our discussion regarding the [http://wiki.internetsafetypodcast.com Internet Safety Project]. I thought you were excited about incorporating that content, yet that project is even more detailed than our current information.

:: My bottom line is that I very much welcome the additional overview and the high-level articles, but we should increase, not decrease, the detailed content so that we can provide parents and others with specific tools to meet specific threats. -- [[User:Aebrown|Aebrown]] 21:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

::: Alan, I think we are in agreement - I am just not doing a good job of expressing it here. I want to make this wiki work more like the [http://wiki.internetsafetypodcast.com Internet Safety Project], and other traditional wiki's, in that as a topic is discussed (for example, the difference between texting and instant messaging), each topic is a link to another page that describes that topic. What I was referring to in my statement that you reference above, however, is the navigation. I want to remove the sub-topics (generally speaking) from the navigation, and simplify it for those who don't know the difference between these technologies, thus discussing it in more of the "big picture" overview. Then, as they are learning about something (i.e., mobile computing), and we begin discussing text messaging, that will be an in-context link to that topic. I hope I am making sense. This should result not in less detail, but in more detail overall - just simpler navigation for those who may not know all of the terms, but do know what general topic they want to learn about. I will try to get this all in place in the next week or so, and then we can have more discussion if we need to. We are not risking loosing much, if any, content at this point by removing these sub-topics, as most of the pages are just empty place-holders at this point. Also, I am opening the discussion regarding the [http://wiki.internetsafetypodcast.com Internet Safety Project] with its creator(s) to see how we can help each other. Hopefully something will come of that as well. Thanks for your input! - Ken 22:04, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

:: I am in agreement with Ken's summary from the preceding discussion. -[[User:Mcdanielca|Mcdanielca]] 16:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Gospel Library for eBooks

Mcdanielca:

{{MobileGospelLibraryIndex}}
Currently we have official versions of the Holy Bible and Book of Mormon available in ePub format. The ePub format will work on Apple's iPad, the Sony Reader, and the Barnes and Noble Nook devices.

'''Note:''' We are currently aware of problems with the files on the Sony Reader. We are working to remedy this as soon as possible.

== Downloads ==
Right click on these files and save to your computer as an 'epub' file. (Example: HolyBible.epub or BookOfMormon.epub)

* [http://tech.lds.org/glweb/index.php?action=book.download&id=90 Holy Bible]
* [http://tech.lds.org/glweb/index.php?action=book.download&id=89 Book of Mormon]

== How to install the Gospel Library ePub books on your iPad==

Installing ePub books on your iPad device is very similar to installing MP3 files on your iPad or iPod device. Follow these instructions.

# Copy the ePub books to your local hard drive. One suggestion is to create a “books” folder in your documents folder and copy them there.
# Open iTunes
# Select the “File -> Add to Library” menu option.
# Navigate to where your books are located on your hard drive and select the books you want to add.
# The books are now added to your iTunes library. You should now have a “books” folder in your “Library” section of iTunes.
# Plug in your iPad device to your computer.
# Once your device is recognized in iTunes, click on your iPad device under the “Devices” section of iTunes.
# Next click on the “Books” in the main part of the iTunes screen. This shows you all of the books that you can synchronize or add to your iPad.
# Find the books you previously added to your iTunes library and make sure that they are “checked”.
# Synchronize your iPad and the books will be transferred to your iPad device.
# Download iBooks from the App store on your iPad. iBooks is a free app.
# The ePub books you've downloaded will be available in iBooks.

== How to install the Gospel Library ePub books on your Barnes & Noble Nook ==

To install the Gospel Library ePub books on your Nook, follow these instructions.
# Download the ePub books from this website to your hard drive. One suggestion is to create a "books" folder in your documents folder and copy them there.
# Plug your nook in to your PC. After a few seconds, you will see a "Nook" device as a hard drive on your machine. For Windows, you will need to go to the "My Computer" section to see it. For Mac, you will see the Nook device on your desktop.
# Drag the ePub books you previously downloaded to your Nook device in the "my documents" folder.
# Eject your nook device from your PC.
# From the Nook home screen, go to "My Library and then select "View My Documents". The books will be listed on this screen.

== Support ==

If you can't find the answer to your problem or if you've found a new bug, please email us at [mailto:gospellibrary-epub@ldschurch.org gospellibrary-epub@ldschurch.org].

; Is there a testing environment for the various projects?
: Most projects have a test environment that you can utilize. For example, you can see the latest build of the Local Unit Calendar application by visiting http://tech.lds.org/luc. Most projects will automatically look for subversion commits and generate builds to the test environment. See the individual project pages for more information about their test environments.

; Are there any coding or other community standards that must be followed?
: Each project may have their own standards but overall, you can read the currently defined [[Community Development Best Practices | best practices]].

; I'm not a programmer. How can I contribute?
: We always have need for UI designers, QA engineers and testers, technical writers, translators, security experts, project managers, etc. Contact [[User:welchtc | Tom Welch]] with your skills and we will put you on a team best fitting to your skills.
