Our web workers have been asking for a way to build community and to share information. Now we’ve got it for you!
We have created a SharePoint (SP) site for you at: https://sharepoint.medschool.ucsf.edu/SOM/ISU/WebWorkers/default.aspx
Note: The URL begins in https, not http.

Please note that our server team will be performing maintenance on the School of Medicine servers on Wednesday, January 3 at 6:00 p.m. The servers will be intermittently unavailable for up to two hours.
Therefore, in order to minimize the risk of losing work, please do not make any updates to your pages on integration during this time. |
| 01/12/06 |
The content freeze for sites on the Medschool
and Intranet servers will be lifted on Friday, 1/13/06 and you will
be able to work on your sites again.*
It is important that you verify that your sites
have not been affected by the server migration. So, on Friday, please
restart your computers (to flush your DNS cache) and browse through
your sites on both integration and on production. Look to see that
the pages are your most up-to-date versions, that any functionality
is unaffected and that there are no broken links. Please let us
know of any content or functionality problems and fix broken links
ASAP.
Attached is a checklist to help you resume work.
This should be a simple process, but we ask that you run through
it as soon as possible, in order to flush out any problems before
you are faced with a content deadline.
*Those of you with your own domains (Dermatology,
Obstacles, DAHSM, FCM, Osher, Global Health Sciences, Stem Cell,
CHC, HSS, Neurosurgery, IND, Humgen, Ptrehab) have been notified
as to when your content freezes will occur. You will also need to
execute the above steps immediately as soon as your freeze has been
lifted.

Our
School of Medicine server migration will be taking place from 1/9-1/12/2006.

changes to your sites during those three days.

We have updated all pages and templates to
allow the webworkers the ability to edit
page titles and metadata with keywords
specific to individual sites or pages. We
will be moving all the School of Medicine files to a new server
at the end of the year. We are taking this opportunity to effectuate
a global clean up of sites, removing any old, outdated or extraneous
files. Valentina has sent the webworkers lists of orphaned files
and broken links. In addition, this
is a good time to review your file-naming
conventions, especially versioning.
Please have your sites cleaned up by Wednesday,
November 30. Please let Valentina
know when you have done so and be sure to call on her for any help
you may require. |
| 09/07/05 |
As
you may recall, we will be reworking your templates to allow you to
add your own metatags and to update the ‘page updated’
bug. This will also be a good time for you to clean up your site of
orphans if any are lingering there.
I will begin working directly on your templates starting next week.
Before I do so, I will contact you individually to coordinate this
with you. |
