===Introduction ===

Welcome to ~~this class on Hauling 101~~! Over the next hour ~~or so~~, ~~we shall review what~~ it ~~takes~~ to ~~establish a hauler character~~, and to ~~use them~~ to ~~haul profitably~~ and ~~safely~~.

Welcome to "Introduction to Eve W-Space"! The Eve W-Space Mapper is an in-game browser tool used by Unista explorers to exchange information. Over the next hour, I hope to show you the features of the Eve W-Space Mapper tool, to explain how it could be useful to you, and to compare it to other mapping tool alternatives. The focus of this class is on Unistas '''outside''' the WHC; WHC members have their own educational program for learning the mapper, which is a little more detailed and complicated than what we'll do here.

''(Instructor should then introduce himself or herself - covering experience level and background.)''

We have a few ground rules for this class:

* This class will ~~begin with a~~ lecture, running about an hour. ~~[We~~ will ~~then conduct~~ a ~~practical exercise~~, ~~which should last about half an hour~~.]

* This class will be in lecture format, running about an hour. However, during the lecture, we will all be accessing and using the Eve W-Space Mapper on our in-game browsers.

* Feel free to ask any questions in the Class.E-UNI chat channel as we proceed - I will try to answer your questions as they come during the class. At the end, we'll open Mumble for any further questions or general discussion.

* As a result, because you will be switching between in-game and out-of-game browsers (very distracting!), I recommend that you be docked up safely in a station.

* You should be docked up safely in a station [, preferably in Aldrat if you intend to participate in the practical exercise].

* Feel free to ask any questions in the Class.E-UNI chat channel as we proceed. (Please X up in Class.E-UNI to make sure we're all in-channel.) I will try to answer your questions as they come during the class. At the end, we'll open Mumble for any further questions or general discussion.

* Please put your Mumble settings on "Push to Talk" if you have not already done so.

* Please put your Mumble settings on "Push to Talk" if you have not already done so. I recommend *not* muting yourself permanently; it's always nice to be able to ask questions out loud if I've misunderstood you in the chat channel somehow.

Everyone ready? OK, then - let's begin....

Everyone ready? OK, then let's begin!

===What is the Mapper?===

'''The Eve W-Space Mapper is a browser tool that helps Unistas share information during exploration.'''

The Mapper:

* Is compatible with in-game and out-of-game browsers.

* When used in-game, accepts both client- (automatic) and user-supplied data.

* Shares information only with your fellow Unistas.

The Mapper is a server-side web application developed by Eve University graduate, and now member of Sleeper Social Club (as of Sept 2015), Marbin Drakon in 2013. It is open-source, meaning that any organization can download and install it and use it to serve database information to organization members securely, over the web. The Eve University instance of this software is housed on an E-UNI server, and does not share information with any other organizations, even those that also use Eve W-Space. (So, for example, SSC can't see our maps, and we can't see theirs.)
