I was asked, if I could do a lession with a delegation from the partnertowns, to tell them some about Joomla. I said yes und thought about "delegation" that there will be some employees from the cities in middle age, which have only less computer knowledges. Two times four hours were planned. I was really surpised, as I saw a group of six teenagers (?) was sit there.
All has very good computer knowledges, all lections ended faster than expected. Before the lunch break we sopke already about creating and editing articles and map them to an menu entry. The members of the delegation from the partnertowns (Slubice, Vantaa, Nîmes, Vratsa) and the member of the Compentence team from Frankfurt (Oder) writing now their first article. The task is to write about the the summer camp 2012. Either in shape of a little chronicle or only about their personal highlights.
I possible. the articles should translated into a second language by the members. Images will also added later the the articles. During the next days the publishing is planned. No I will take a picture by the group to illustrate this article.
The target, that the participants are able to add their own contents to the website in future, we came very close today. At thursday we wlill repeat some stuff and will learn how to insert lists ans tables. Maybe we will elarn also the usage of the gallery component.
So now only one thing is missing: The longtime motivation, to work on the website. But also there I'm optimistic.
Thanx a lot to all - Marta, Mortiz, Lawrence, Eléna, Nadya and Ibrahim - for the great work. 'til thurstday.
