Welcome to the weekly Oxbridge Deans Q&A. This is an open meeting. All are welcome unless individual mis-behavior requires otherwise. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |

Phrynne? |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
I have a couple of things... |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
It's spring! We have trees bursting out in leaf at Oxbridge. The apple tree has returned and is starting to flower. And we also have chickens, the quieter ones under the apple tree and the noisier ones near the big fountain. I need to mention that there is an exploding chicken in each location (but they regenerate nicely.) |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
The noisier chickens are over by the big fountain, near the railroad tracks. |
| 15:03 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |

Phrynne |
I'm continuing to work on updating the Faculty Info Kit -- which means checking every LM on every card and verifying that places we recommended in the past still exist and are the same rating. It also includes rewriting and updating some cards that are older, and asking people who know more than I do to look over and update notecards in their areas of expertise. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
And that's what I've been up to this week. |
| 15:04 |
|
Phrynne looks back to Word. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Phrynne. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:05 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll be reviewing the patron payment records from the end of 2017 ans Jan 018. Though most every one was caught up and paid for several months at the end of Nov 2017. |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
If IM's need to be sent out.t hey will be sent. |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll be working on the new program this week. and a event for march |
| 15:07 |
RainyDayRecess |
yay ;) |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Looks back at Wordsmith |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As of last week, when I sent financial to Andrea and Rainy after the Winter Ball, the Oxbridge account had gone from about 226k $L to 247k $L. If that continues, then we'll be in great shape for tier in April. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm also part of Phrynne's notecard update group. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne also let me know that Lindal is rapidly updating the English version of the Tutorial, which opens the door to translations. Accordingly, I've been working on an update to the tutorial kiosks themselves to be multi-lingual. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'd like to keep the kiosks at the current 1 LI per kiosk. This means that the kiosks have to be a single mesh piece and be themselves 1 LI before adding the scripting. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What I can say at this point is, hopefully. |
| 15:14 |
RainyDayRecess |
Together, we can do it ;) |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, I've also updated visitor statistics through the end of January. Just click on the Statistics button on the website navigation area. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Phrynne just gave unto me more to read. ;) |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
Better now than later. :) |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
Wouldn't want you to be bored. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy and tutors, anything? |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nothing from me this week |
| 15:17 |
Gronk Seriman |
Nothing of note. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Elfbiter has his continuing writers' workshop. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Open for any general questions. |
| 15:18 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Yup |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, we are also collecting, collating information on mesh clothes and appliers. |
| 15:20 |
Captain Thunder (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
As to the notecards, the Pirate tour of Caledon was outdated even when I snatched it about 2 years ago. Now none of the locations are in the same place, or in some cases exists. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If anyone wishes to contribute information on that, drop me or Phrynne a notecard. |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
I don't recall which notecard that was on -- if you have the title of it, let me know and I will change that. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You had the one from Jorge and one from Elenabeth. |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
yes. |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
I was responding to Captain Thunder -- I don't recall where the Pirate Tour was listed. |
| 15:22 |
Phrynne |
The notecards from the signs in the plaza for Explore Caledon and Explore the Steamlands were updated late last year, and I don't think it was on them. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And with Middlesea and the Iron Cloud gone will have to be updated again |
| 15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
;( |
| 15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
They will be missed |
| 15:23 |
Phrynne |
Tasha is already working on that, in between teaching workshops to new tutors on dealing with griefers. |
| 15:24 |
Phrynne |
That went very well this morning, I think. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I should review that material also. |
| 15:25 |
Phrynne |
I understand that the CAT has been re-routed to go around the place where Middlesea was. Shetty Aretheus mentioned this in ISC the other day. |
| 15:25 |
Phrynne |
so we should still have CAT routes heading north. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Great. Then things are working again apart from a big psychological hole. |
| 15:26 |
Phrynne |
Yes, as far as I know. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Then, we are |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
adjourned. |
