Is the text "Sign-Up" in the projects page supposed to be a link? Just curious.
It would be cool if it were a link that would take your account name and automatically put it in the box, but I don't know if that would work (maybe some PHP?).
Anyway, the Wiki's are very easy to change yourself and if you know anything about HTML you should be able to figure things out pretty fast how to make it look like you want it to (more or less).
So if there is a project you are interested in, click the Edit link. The page will change into the code-behind version of the page. While it is not HTML, the principals are the same. Look through the page until you find the project you want to add yourself to and modify it.
There is a preview button under the editing textbox which allows you to see what it will look like when it is saved which is handy in making sure your changes don't mess something else up.
For example, the code-behind for Meet and Greet is :
Code:
= Meet and Greet =
|| '''Date Entered''' || 2007-05-04 ||
|| '''Volunteers''' || [wiki:Drew2 Drew], Sign-Up! ||
|| '''Description''' ||Organize a meet-and-greet, somewhere centralizes for the majority of interested participants. According to the Frappr Map, Meriden is looking to be fairly central of people's homes. This is a great project for a number of people to join in on to coordinate scheduling, location, getting the word out, taking RSVPs (if decide to go that way), etc. ||
|| '''Links''' ||[http://www.frappr.com/ubuntuconnecticut frapper map] ||
|| '''Updates:''' || ||
Where
- = HEADER =
- || table cell1 || table cell 2 || and note that you cannot put multiple lines in a cell, though it will wrap automatically if necessary.
- '''Bold''' that is three single-quotes in the beginning and ending
- [wikirew2 Drew] puts a link to an Ubuntu Wiki and the second word ("Drew") is what is displayed
- [http://www.google.com Google] similarly, this will put a hyperlink for the word "Google"
- ''Italic'' note that these are two single quotes on either side
So, using the above example, add yourself to the Meet and Greet Project, you would
- Hit the Edit link
- Find the listing for the Meet and Greet Project
- add your name as is bold in the code below
- hit the "Preview" button below the edit box
- make sure everything looks good
- hit the "Save Changes" button below the edit box
Code:
= Meet and Greet =
|| '''Date Entered''' || 2007-05-04 ||
|| '''Volunteers''' || [wiki:Drew2 Drew], scot524, Sign-Up! ||
|| '''Description''' ||Organize a meet-and-greet, somewhere centralizes for the majority of interested participants.

Hope this helps.
You'll also notice a "Subscribe" link near the Edit link. Even if you don't change anything, by subscribing you will receive an email or something whenever the page is modified along with what it was that was modified.
