Roy, to Wiki, just type the usual www.amazingcharts.com and then add the forward slash /wiki so www.amazingcharts.com/wiki. This will take you to the site. Click on Open account or whatever it is called and fill it out. I would just use your AC login and password. You then will need to confirm your email address by following the prompts. You are then in, and you can edit or blog or whatever.

Good wiki instructions, Bert. I notice that the link to the wiki that you created doesn't work (apparently because the computer included the period in the above sentence as part of the link).

Here are some working links, to facilitate this process:

cool Here's a link allowing you to login or create an account, which is the first step in editing the EULA/wiki: http://www.amazingcharts.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Main_Page

cool Jon's preamble, explaining how and why he is entertaining suggested EULA edits: http://www.amazingcharts.com/wiki/index.php?title=End_User_License_Agreement_%28EULA%29

cool The community EULA, ripe for editing: http://www.amazingcharts.com/wiki/index.php?title=Suggested_EULA_edits

Once you have created an account, it is not hard to make changes to the text; it's just about like editing these posts. I made some formatting changes to the EULA today myself, to make it easier to read and review. I also added a link back to this thread, at the bottom of the EULA.

I would like to again express gratitude to Jon for this gesture.

He has given us a unique opportunity to help shape the EULA, and I would like to see the group add some of their comments directly to the document. Probably many of us are hesitant to try our hand at "lawyer-ese", but I would just suggest that you could place your brief, constructive comments after the offending paragraph, and set them apart with asterisks or italics. For example, Roy could insert the following at the end of the document:

I would like some assurances that my patient's private medical records cannot be extracted for use in P4P measurement without explicit permission from the user.

I would usually be glad to "stand at the chalkboard" and transfer a brief synopsis of everyone's comments to the EULA, but I am in a time crunch presently, with cold & flu season, and whatnot. Creating this post alone took quite a bit of time.

This post will slide off the board at some point, however important the topic may be, but comments appended to the wiki would be more durable, I think.
