GET IT ALL

Hi,It_will_be_helpful_to_put_a_Box_labeling_each_location_for_the_Lists_of_Skills,Objects,Wifi<etc.._before_you_click_on_a_name.

Hello. The several times I used your site, I tried it with my native Apple Safari. It was horrible. Links would kick me out to the logon page. Pages would only partially display or not display at all. I could not "Check" the Check mark boxes on my action plan. It really seemed like a poorly developed and very broken website. My wife tried it and had the same experience. It was not until I tried the website in Google Chrome, that everything seemed to work much better. I still cannot link to Facebook and receive an error about a security violation that is preventing it.
You REALLY need to put a BIG warning at the top of the page that says this website in either NOT Apple Safari compatible or is optimized for Google Chrome or something to that effect.

I understand that the text befor the actual action plan is important to read, but only once.
It's not ergonomic to have to scroll all the way down each time

When I click on a link while not connected, it asks me to sign in. When I sign in, it should then bring me to to the page I clicked on in the first time instead of the home page.

The Transition needs to change from a lofty headspace website to a practical "Hands on" organization.

we (the collective of "awakened") don't need another "teaching website" telling us what must be done, asking for pledges without making the first step themselves.

One huge issue thats stopping the "awakened" from acting is the chains of need.

We all need Food, Water, Clothes, Tools, Housing that without a safetynet, can only be acquired via money.

What "The Transition" needs to be is THE place to go for key resources.

The Transition needs to acquire local storage/depots to allow US the volunteer's space to acquire resources that form the safety net!

If we had free local storage we could set up resources banks, that's set up to be free to the point of need...

This isn't charity shops.. the resources won't be sold for money or shipped to far-flung locations away from the people that need them...

With local free storage. We can set up

Transition FOOD BANKS (Not Trussel trust food banks that are restricted by the government and means tested to prevent its use) but FOOD BANKS that serve the people.. we donate the food and the food is checked, washed and then is Free to the point of need for the public that needs it.

WATER BANKS (The Transition should approach land owners that have access to clean water sources, and use the water for free if (TT) supplies the storage and transport to the depots.

CLOTHES BANKS... again instead of donating clothes to a charity that sells the clothes, the clothes are checked and washed and then is available to the public for free.

TOOLS BANKS ... equipment is donated, checked, and refurbished/fixed and then is free to the point of need. (if people know that TOOLS are readily available .. they wouldn't need to store/own tools.. the tools can be donated once no longer needed)

HOUSING/Shelter .. abandoned property that's been left to ruin can be repaired and redecorated and then OCCUPIED by the transition for use...

For emergency housing, tents and shelters can be acquired on transition owned land.

The safety net should be the Transitions NUMBER ONE GOAL for the first 10 years.

On The Transition page http://www.thetransition.org/free_food, the form to enter locations has a spot where different types of free food is indicated. A description of each of those different types of free food is needed.

On The Transition page, "http://www.thetransition.org/free_food", there is a place to enter "Locations". When filling out this form, it asks for "type". I would suggest adding "surplus" to the list of different types of food offered. I entered the surplus eggs I always have every spring, but the different "type" categories don't match. I entered it under "grocery samples", as I thought that was the closest, but it really doesn't describe farm surplus food available on a seasonal basis. Perhaps an "Other" as a type, instead of or in addition to "Surplus" or "Farm/Producer Surplus"?

Share programs for The Transition contributors would be a valuable service to The Transition community. Shares can be a share of animal products or shares of land or services. A person who currently holds something physical of value gives it to another person or group of people in exchange for either a share of the proceeds - as in a share of a harvest - or for services, such as assistance in maintaining a physical building, or for personal assistance or personal care.

Under The Transition page, "http://www.thetransition.org/food_production, there needs to be a page or a reference to a section of The Transition classifieds for supporters to buy, sell, give away, or offer livestock and other small animals on a share or other basis. A share program needs to be developed.

Under The Transition page "Food Production", http://www.thetransition.org/food_production, there needs to be a page on seed exchanges. The Transition needs to have our own seed exchange, where supporters can offer and request seeds (on a free if you ask basis (?) ) from other supporters. Other plant stocks could be included, such as seedling trees, bulbs, etc. This would be in addition to a listing of known seed exchanges, places to look for seed exchanges, places that offer free seeds (and under what situations/conditions and suggestions regarding how to set up a local seed exchange.

When people go from the menu item "Take Action", to "Connect" (http://www.thetransition.org/connect), the items listed on the site map under "Connect" should be listed, along with the web addresses, or else a link to those pages. Currently, in order to find Free WiFi, Spaces, Skills. Objects and Buds, a person has to go to "Find nearby contributors". Going to "Find nearby contributors" actually takes you to "Find nearby supporters" rather than "contributors" which is a little confusing. And finding the Free WiFi, Spaces, Skills,Objects, and Buds listings are located below "Find nearby supporters." This makes them very difficult to locate. On the sitemap, they are listed under "Connect", and it seems they should be located - or instructions on how to find them should be located, on the "Connect" page (http://www.thetransition.org/connect). Since they are not listed on this page, I find myself having to go to the sitemap and scrolling through it to find them. This is frustrating and time consuming.

I see the marker for my farm as having free WiFi on the map but the marker shows Hillsboro, WI, and this is not the correct location. How does one move the marker to the correct location?

Tried to add my home/farm address as a place that has free WiFi, on the map but could not enter it. How do you make new entries on the map?

Tried to enter the Lawton Public Library, at 118 N Bird Street, La Farge WI 54639; Telephone number 608-625=2015 but was told location could not be found. Apparently it doesn't like the town La Farge!

When adding spaces, the privacy indicators are not appropriate for some of the categories. For instance, when talking about land, it isn't exactly appropriate to say a private room, entire place, or a shared room. It doesn't seem to apply. The same when speaking of a RV/Caravan/Motor Home hook up - private or shared room doesn't really apply.

Tried to put a bed/couch, and a RV, Motor home, camper on the spaces map, but could not figure out how to do it. How do you enter an icon, like bed/couch, land or caravan/RV/Motor Home on the map?

Forms won't allow us to add skills which aren't already listed e.g. eLearning I can't add under Education with hyphen (as directed to). System shows a red box indicating error 'Form is invalid' Pls allow users to create new / sub categories pls.

I tried to enter the Lawton Memorial Public Library as a place with free WiFi, but I could not add an entry. I was told the location was not in the correct format. I put in La Farge, WI, but apparently that is not correct. I don't know how to enter it. Tried to put a marker on the map, but it wouldn't let me do that either. http://www.thetransition.org/free_wifi

I tried to enter my farm on the page, Contributor Businesses, but I wasn't allowed to do so. I got an error message, saying the location was incorrect. I tried several ways of putting in the location: the address, just the state, the state and town, etc. but no matter what I put, it would not accept it. http://www.thetransition.org/contributor_businesses
