MorLUG wiki-wiki website - www.morlug.org
presented by Michael Bond

A little history

The site started off as static html on David Smith's sunsol box, which
inherently crashed. The site went into limbo and returned on Plone.

The main goal

The wiki is a very scalable application. The wiki in general has
fallen subject to grafiti, so the proposal of putting restrictions to
mailing list only. The main goal of the website is to keep
organization of various ventures of MorLUG. Eventually limit users to
certain rescritions. i.e. specific tags are limited, like js.

Before you save the page, preview it.

Create a correct chronilogical link system on the site, as opposed to
just creating random pages on the home page.


Headings

<h1></h1> tags are represented as    =this=
<h2></h2> tags are represented as    ==this==

Syntax

Italics (<em></em>):   ''this is italics''  - these are single quotes
Bold text (<strong></strong>): '''this is bold text'''  -these are
single quotes as well

HTML Structure

The wiki will be rendered in xhtml.
i.e.
 To create paragraphs put <p></p>
 Table tags are enabled.

Signatures

When you edit the page you should sign the page with one of these signatures.
name: ~~~
name+date: ~~~~
date: ~~~~~

It will appear like this:

Dperriero
Dperriero 22:13, 26 January 2006 (CST)
22:13, 26 January 2006 (CST)

Its a good idea to sign your name after you edit or make a comment to
keep things organized again.

Lists

ordered lists (<ol></ol>):
 # item1
 # item2
 ## 2a
 ## 2b
 ###3a
 # 3

undordered lists (<ul></ul>):     * an asterisk followed by your line

Indentations

paragraph indentation


:text_____

The text will appear
          like this.

New Pages

A new page can be created when a wiki word is typed.
[[Some Text]]

To link to a specific page you enclose the page name in [[Some Page]]

To link to an external page you would enclose the URL in single
brackets  [http://slashdot.org]

Media

*Upload images or docs...
The upload button is on the side panel. It'll warn you if a file name exists.

linking to the file...
foo.png

[[image:foo.png|alt text]]
[[media:foo.png|alt text]]

Misc

To escape wiki syntax you tag your content with <nowiki>text</nowiki>

Recent changes displays a revision system of modified pages and a
diff.  Reverting a revision is totally possible through this page.

If you are particulary interested in a specific page you can click on
'watch' to keep tabs on that page.

Categories keep the site very organized and indexes the pages well.

There is a rss and atom feed to the site.  David Riggs commented that
the site has been submitted to gmane.

Cool facts

wiki - what i know is  The site name 'wiki-wiki' is based on the
hawaiian word wiki for 'fast or quick'


Open discussion

Apparently Richard Stallman won't speak at a LUG but will speak at a GLUG.
