great tricks Don!

HI my name is Tim and I have a problem with a SAS program. Are you able to assist. I have never used the SAS Community site before so i'm not sure if i'm following proper protocol?

Hi Don,

We hava an immediate openings with one of our direct client on SAS Please let me know any references for the job opportunities we have.

I wanted to tell you about this page that I just created: http://www.sascommunity.org/wiki/Be_Wary_of_the_SAME-AND_Operator

I received an email today at work. It contained a word document whose content was only text and a URL - nothing that required being a word processing document. All it did was add an extra step and use more resources. I feel the same way about PDFs on Wiki pages - makes the page less useful. But I'm a curmudgeon.

It looks like there are WikiMedia and EPub converters for the OpenOffice equivalent of Word, but not for the equivalent of PowerPoint. So there would still be a conversion process of Impress->Writer->Wikimedia for presentations.

I just added one of my WUSS papers here, and I wonder if there is an easier process than what I did. The paper is at http://www.sascommunity.org/wiki/Creating_a_ZIP_File_Using_Native_SAS_Features .

This is a conversion of my PowerPoint slides, not the paper. I saved the PPT as RTF, which I opened in Word and saved as text (there's no "save as text" option in my version of PowerPoint). I then edited the text file, mainly by changing the page titles to section headers with ==x== and ===x===, and the unprintable-character bullet points to wiki bullet characters. Is there an existing conversion tool for this?

A few other comments about papers:

• The paper and powerpoint templates should be rewritten from scratch. There's a lot of old junk in the current ones, and that makes papers unnecessarily difficult to create. Also, the powerpoint text boxes and fonts could use some tweaking.

• While they're being rewritten, two additional features could be added:

- The ability to export content to sascommunity wiki format.

- The ability to export content to a format usable by a program used to create a mobile reader document (.mobi or epub).

If the templates were cleaned up, and writers stuck to features in the template, such exports would be straightforward to create (I was thinking that a macro would be the way to go). The output would require some additional work insome cases

• I'd like SASGloF to switch to sascommunity.org as its primary paper repository. It's more flexible and less difficult to use than the current system.

• Back to an earlier point: PDFs are wave of the past. They're hard to read unless you have a giant desktop monitor, and almost impossible to read on a phone or tablet. HTML (as on sascommunity.org) or a reader format works on almost every common device, and adapts to the capabilities of the device.

Ron Fehd would be happy, because there are converters for LaTeX->HTML and LaTeX->EPub

Some formatting features would be lost, of course, but that might be a feature and not a bug. WikiMedia and HTML both support math formula markup, but I'm not sure whether they support the same markup.

Don, we are set for the HOW today at 10 am central (11edt). Thank you for validating the new users. You mentioned a meeting will you need someone else to do the validations? I can try to get a class member to help but do not remember the password for sgfhow@gmail.com Art
