I've just added a 'Send message to ...' option towards the bottom of the side-bar. I used it to start this message.

Vendor Comparison Table and Change to Standard News Skeleton

Laura

I've built the skeleton for the Vendor Comparison Table that I mentioned last week and which both Paul and Andy McFarlane have requested. I'll explain to you how I envisage it working, and the table-editing code works, next week. Admin 05:25, 19 August 2007 (EDT)

I have also tweaked the Standard News Skeleton slightly, so that instead of simply repeating the headline of the news article, the template provides a link to the page that contains the article.

• Here's an example: Template:Green tech
• So the Skeleton now looks like this: Standard News Article skeleton
• This is a good example from Wikipedia which shows how the reader can use these links to take themselves from an overview document about the Anglo-Saxons to more detailed articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxons (You need to page down three or four times to see the examples.)

Vendor Comparison Table continued

Laura

I have kicked off a couple of the tables e.g. Vendor_Comparison_Table#Green_Measures_by_Vendors_to_Mitigate_effects_of_own_Operations.

• I think the best process is to scan one document at a time, and note all the environmental actitivies it contains. Then mark that document with [[Category:Scanned in 3Q07 for Vendor Comparison Table]]

so that we don't scan it again for a while.

• So far I have only scanned Accenture and the Environment.
