Let me come back & offer a more substantive contribution beyond my earlier compliment to the participants.

As a college-level instructor as well as a trained historian, I believe that anything that is not an original idea should be cited. And in terms of using primary &/or secondary sources, students should site all sources read that helped them develop their thinking on a given topic. Within formal writings, they should be encouraged to offer materials that support their viewpoints or opinions, this supporting evidence should always be cited. Footnotes are the most effective means to offer proper citation for sources read/used.

Rachel-- I am using my big shiney new MAC leopard that is in my home office & linked to the internet using ATT Uverse's fast/fast/fast Fiber Optic connection to the internet. Is it possible that my internet connection to TOO FAST for your server :) I am not having any troubles with anyother internet site, only my PbWiki :(

I don't have anything to contribute, other than to offer thanks to all those who posted before I got here. These are very constructive suggestions. Kimn

I have been working at a SNAILS-pace for the last 4 hrs because of this ERROR 500 problem. I have to keep reloading pages for them to save. When they do save, I get the banner error message asking if the server crashed while editing the page; and then it flips to the Hiccup Error giff. I HAVE VERY LIMITED TIME -- classes start next week & I can't be bothered with loosing precious time & energy!!! HELLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

Hi gang! The ERROR 500 problem has returned & from reading comments within the PBwiki Summer Camp site, folks were having similar issues on Aug 18th. What are you guys doing to identify the root source of this error? Your current patch fixes only seem to provide temporary vs permanent relief to this service disruption. I'm getting more worried the longer this problem continues. Kimn

Rachel, just went back to check on the status & instead of the Hiccup/Very Hungry gif.... I got this alert message on the page I had tried to save in things started snagging. Previously, I had alert messages asking if the server had crashed or did I want to delete the draft. It's currently 5:45 PM - EST

Nathan-- hope you or someone else from PBWiki is monitoring the Server. Its 7:30AM -- Eastern Standard Time and the Error 500 error message has returned as well as causing me to loose a number of page edits. Do you folks have a large enough Server Farm or Node System to handle all the Summer Camp production load?

I lost precious time yesterday & now today!!!!!

Getting the Error 500 Message

I have been kicked off the wiki twice. I am now getting the Hic-up Error 500 message. Are others reporting this error?

Thanks & a "shout out" to Kristine & her team for acting on the numerous e-mails I sent and those I am certain were sent by others. Today's wiki layout & access/easy is a dramatic departure from yesterday's frustrating encounters.

As someone who has been an "early adopter" at my institution for a lot of e-learning technologies & strategies for engaging online users, I am familiar with hitting sangs & glitches. I think we need to teach our learners how to deal with frustrations & be creative problem solvers rather than always striving for a perfect experience. Life doesn't work like that.

I was delighted & surprised with the overwhelming response to this Summer Camp idea. I look forward to learning about what my peers are doing and to see the creative strategies being experimented with on a wiki.
