Dear Team Leaders,
With the help of our beta testers, we have worked out the kinks with
the new Etsy Teams site feature. Now it is time to share these tools
with all the existing Etsy Teams. That means you, welcome!
We've written up a handy and informative Teams Migration Handbook
(http://community.etsy.com/teams-migration-handbook). Please read it
thoroughly, because it explains how everything works.
The handbook will walk you through how to claim your team's title and
URL, upload your team's logo image (an avatar for your team), post any
rules or regulations you have in your charter, add a short description
(140 characters) and a long description. It also explains how to
invite your existing team members into your new home.
When you've read over the handbook and are ready to get started visit
http://etsy.com/teams/ to begin!
We Admin have also started a team for team leaders so we can find all
of you in one place on Etsy — apply here:
http://etsy.com/groups/6/captains-quarters.If you have any issues or find any bugs (hopefully not!), please post
in the Captains' Quarters Discussions and let us know:
http://www.etsy.com/teams/6/captains-quarters/discuss/6668412/Morgan will also be hosting live teams migration help in the Virtual
Labs during the following hours:
Tuesday (11/2) 4pm-5pm E.T.
Wednesday (11/3) 2pm-3pm E.T.
Thursday (11/4) 11am-12pm E.T.
(come to
http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php and click on "gallery"
to participate.)
We are hoping that all the existing teams can be migrated into the
new Etsy Teams platform within a week or so. Then, we will open up the
new home for Etsy Teams to the entire community and add the ability to
create new teams.
Our initial focus in crafting the new Etsy Teams was to provide you
with the ability to manage your own teams — membership, logo,
descriptions, etc. We are sure you will appreciate being able to
manage those things on your own without needing to ask an Etsy Admin
to do it for you. But we're not stopping there, we're working on lots
of exciting features that will make Etsy Teams even more useful. This
is just the beginning!
See you on the site,
Morgan, Andrew, Vanessa, Ken and the rest of the Etsy Teams Admin
