E-mail [[User:Merv|Merv Duffy]] on mervduffy@gmail.com telling me who you are, your connection with this project and what password and username you want
 
  
Having an account means that you have access to everyone else's translations of these documents. In return we ask that you make available to us the translations that you make. If you have any difficulty adding text to the Wiki feel free to email your text to mervduffy@gmail.com and I will put it up for you.
 
  
See the example page [[Girard0148]] for a proposed format.
 
  
Please name documents from "Lettres reçues d’Océanie" as Girard####, i.e. as Girard followed by the document number expressed as four digits. Hence doc 148 is [[Girard0148]].
 
  
So, if you want to check if the document you are working on has been translated, just type Girard imediately followed by the appropriate 4 digit number (i.e. with no space between the two) into the search box to the left of this.
 
  
If the page does not exist you have the opportunity of creating it and putting your translation there.
 
  
The CD of the letters we got from Charley at Suva is already out of date.
 
He has removed a duplicate letter - formerly doc 341 which duplicated doc 414 (new numbering) and hence everything after has been renumbered.
 
Two new doucments have been added docs 1297 and 1307.

Searching

The documents put on this Wiki are all able to be searched by word or phrase.

Simply type your search word into the box above the Go and Search buttons. Then click on one of those buttons (or hit enter). The function of the go button is to display a page directly, instead of first having to select it from the search result page. In other words, it allows you to quickly navigate from page to page without following links.

Phrase

Search for a phrase by enclosing it in double quotation marks.

Wildcard

You can use a wildcard *, at the end of a search term only. To search for pages with the words "boat" or "boats" search like this: "boat*". You cannot use "*boat" to find Riverboat, etc.
