At first I felt quite daunted, but now I feel optimistic. I believe this will be worthwhile of not only my time but for those in the future who will use it. I look forward to creating something that will aid in my learning as well.

==Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)==
===Sections I've been working on===
* [[Liver]]
* [[Liver - Flashcards]]
* [[Lymphoreticular/Haemopoetic System]]
===What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project===
* The challenge of organizing the initial information in my sections enabled me to get a good grasp of what information was involved and what needed to be discussed.
* I've learned so much more about internet/html usage. Although I must admit, it's easiest to copy and paste someone else's formatting to get you going!
* I feel I have VIP access to an impressive creation. I plan on using wikivet to revise for my upcoming exams!
===Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee===
* Making a simple change to a page heading (eg capitalizing the word system in lymphoreticular haemopoetic system) loses your links to the previous page since it is case sensitive. I think I have excess pages out there in the world wide web now.
* I found it extremely time consuming to use images from pdf lectures yet so much easier if the lecture is in power point format.
* Spending a great deal of time about a topic, and then realising it's already been discussed in another section by someone else! Do you then consolidate? Leave as is? Or provide a link?
===My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future===
* Personally, I feel a section is most manageable when assigned to one person. Th initial stages involve so much rearranging of categories, it changes on a daily basis of input.
* I would like to see the use of consistent wording, eg Clinical Signs or Clinical Symptoms. Histologically or Microscopically.
* Having a 'web master' to point out areas that need improvement or change on a regular basis eg managing the number of subheadings in a topic
===What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future===
* I know it could be never ending, but I would like to 'tweak' my sections
* I enjoyed making flashcards for the liver section, and I would like to go back and make some more once I have images uploaded in the liver section.
* I wouldn't mind being in charge of making flashcards for other sections. As a former teacher, I enjoy it!
