	Cleaned up edit page appearance and flow (although the flow is a bit hackish in implementation). Understand facebook link description problem: when you post to graph and supply a description and the link is "alone" (no one else shared it) it will post the description passed in. When the link has been shared by multiple people (I assume this is understood by the url of the link matching) then facebook will look for the meta tags on the page--and not finding these will look for the fist p element on the page greater than 120 characters and scrape the text from that--since we can't easily define meta tags (without aadding a whole other extension) I've put invisible p elements on the page that match the description that is sent...ughh more reasons working with opaque external apis is not fun. A few relatively minor issues persist until beta release is possible--conditional buttons on front page and bug testing for facebook submissions (mostly: what happens if you cancel parts of the submission process while it's happening and how do we want to report back with errors/warnings that occur with email).

	Implemented server-side email validation using MediaWiki Sanitizer::validateEmail function. Changed error handling for emails. Met with Brad to talk about app. Suggested launching Beta without email features. Beta work left todo: conditional buttons, edit page flow, share_with_friends page flow (make templating less clunky). General cleanup. Seed videos. Coding should be complete by Friday.		Implemented server-side email validation using MediaWiki Sanitizer::validateEmail function. Changed error handling for emails.

	Finished converting to automated mediaWiki database update system. Renamed files from ShareOSE to TrueFans to better reflect current purpose. Created git workflow and uploaded the extension to the test server and successfully updated. Can now push directly to webserver from git.

	Made great strides towards getting a fully functional test server up an running. [http://test.opensourceecology.org/wiki http://test.opensourceecology.org/wiki] is now upgraded and is mostly identical to primary wiki. OpenID still isn't working--seems there is an issue with permissions on the /tmp directory that prevents extension from saving nonces. LocalSettings.php has also become unweildly. Created a new clean file to allow me pop the debug toolbar up but some clean up seems like it's in order. Ran into an issue with databases -- since I don't have root access to DB server and only wiki db user I'm going to try to wrap database into automated MW way of doing things--this will more tightly couple the code to mediaWiki but there's really not much lost there...the code is already almost pure MediaWiki as is (besides the FE stuff--but BE MVC stuff is all ugo mediaWiki stuff). Got update.php to automatically create db tables (this is really convenient, although not rails convenient). Now have to update DB model (ugly work, will make code uglier) and then I can probably run this in a near clone of the production environment.

	Continued attempts to get a valid test environment on ose server. Updated test environment on my personal server with updated OpenId extension and new WikiEditor (should probably add these to OSE wiki). Trouble updating ose test server seems like DB user can't create tables or at least new tables...		Continued attempts to get a valid test environment on ose server.
