New Features
Jacob worked up some code to display the 75 most recent changes on the wiki.
New Material
We are continuing to upload new material on the wiki. Brian will be updating information of operating engineers. And Sara has a large document related to safety for electrical and mechanical trades. Morgan is developing material related to PtD and MSD risk exposure reduction.
Private Beta Launch
For purposes of convenience to our informal expert informants, the wiki will be public on Thursday, June 25. We may delay our invitations for our initial round of user feedback until we settle on a domain name and have the site seamlessly link to the site.
In our invitation during for private beta, I will include a link to a survey.
