The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[David Susman <dasusman AT vassar.edu>]

Thanks Thomas.  I didn't know about that pop-up so your advice was really helpful.

I know this will come across as preachy butI was referring to the message on the following page where the download takes place.  The English version needs some editing.  If I had access to that text, I would make the following adjustments.  If it has to be global, then the Vassar specifics would need to be more generic (e.g., mention of user certificates would need to be added back and servicedesk would change to helpdesk....):

This:

Hi David,

 

It is possible to add some text.

As you can see here when you click download, a confirmation box will appear which is free text area.

Subject: [[cat-users]] Can we update the text on the eduroam CAT download page?

 

The text on the download page (the one that starts "Welcome aboard the eduroam user community!") has several grammatical issues I would like to address.  I would also like to add some more details on usage (e.g., that username includes @domain).  It appears the blurb is global for all institutions.  Am I overlooking something and if not, can this note be considered a feature request to allow institutions to edit the text on the download page?

 

Thanks,

David
