[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] want to help newbies by editing wiki

[Cheryl Gould]

Robert, Karen, Diggers,

Robert, thanks for the explanations and yes I'd like to work with
Karen on the DIG pages.  I will request a dokuwiki account.

In making edits to the wiki - is it appropriate to send proposed edits
to the DIG list and wait for people to respond or is it OK to make the
edits and let people know they've  been made?   I'll be happy to talk
to Karen off-list if that's more appropriate.

Cheryl


The wiki can be edited by anyone who requests as docuwiki account and,
in essence, the wiki pages are the responsibility of the Evergreen
community as a whole and not one person. Officially, you could send an
email to the DIG facilitators:
docs at evergreen-ils.org to make the request for a docuwiki account. The
docuwiki itself is not in XML but has its own interesting syntax:
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:syntax. As a
relative newbie to editing the wiki pages, I find the wiki syntax
cumbersome, but not difficult.

Regards,
Robert

Cheryl,

I think Robert did an excellent job addressing your questions, so I
won't repeat any of what he said.  I'll skip right to the part about
the currency and newbie-friendliness of the info about DIG on the
wiki.  I just finished a first pass at updating the particular page
you pointed out as being out of date, but I'm sure there are a lot
more pages showing their age that could use some renovation.  As I
find the time, I'll plan to take a look through the other DIG-related
wiki pages and work on bringing them up to date.  If you'd like to
work with me on that your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Karen
