Adventures in TWiki Land

Earlier this week, Colin and I had a personal growth opportunity to post some changes to documentation on TWiki. Of course, when we went to peform this feat, none of our partners in crime were around, you know, the usual suspects: Chris, Jessica, and Laura. After a couple of false starts, we were successful. I thought I should describe our steps, so that if I forget in the future, I can come back here and refresh my memory. If any of you have an easier way of posting, please comment. Although I like TWiki, it's organization and processes seem a little topsy. So here's what we did (eventually) to post an updated document on TWiki for APS:

1. Go to TWiki at http://collaborator.
2. In the left navigation menu, click the eSolutions link.
3. On the eSolutions Welcome page, click the eSolutions Groups link in the right column under Contents.
4. On the eSolutions Group Pages page, click the User Research and Interaction Design link in the Business Groups and Links section at the top of the page.
5. You might want to bookmark the UserResearchAndInteractionDesign page.
6. On the UserResearchAndInteractionDesign page click the Attach icon and link in the page header.
7. On the Existing Attachments page, click the Action link for the document that you want to update.
8. At the bottom of the screen is a Local File field. Click the Browse button to locate the updated document that you want to upload to TWiki from your computer's hard drive.
9. After you have located the file (and the Local File field is filled in), click the Upload button at the top of the page.
10. Poof!

Wasn't that easy?
