Wiki
The official definition at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki points that “A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites.
MediaWiki
The application software that we assume to create this wiki web page is called MediaWiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki). Here, you can find the mediawiki help: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents
The underlying idea behind wiki adoption is that everyone of the group can modify the content’s website, instead of having a single web manager. Of course, an administrator is required to deal with accounts, bad managements, etc. That will be the role of the supervisor.
How To Edit Pages
Mediawiki has been configured in the way that only registered users can edit/modify pages.
An user has to deal with wikitext to create/modify pages (similar to html on web pages). Here is a quick guide of wikitext: http://lifesci.tau.ac.il/wiki/it/index.php/Mediawiki_quickguide
In order to make easier this creation/modification of pages an editor (FCKeditor) has been included. This editor (a bar with several buttons on the top) appears every time an user tries to edit a page and it is the simplest way to create/modify a page. Here is a link where you can practice with this editor (click on edit): http://mediawiki.fckeditor.net/index.php/Sandbox. For instance, an important button on the bar is the insert/edit link. Once you select a text and click this button, the name of a page is required. A new page is created if the selected page does not exist.
How to Add a Publication
IMPORTANT: to avoid duplications, the first author is responsible of adding each publication.
STEP 1: Go to publications page and add the reference of the publication. Note that this page can be entirely or partially (by year) edited. Please, assume the following format guidelines:
- Maintain the typical reference format seen on papers. I.E:
C.Molina, C.Aliagas, M.García, A.González and J.Tubella, Non Redundant Data Cache, In Proceedings of the International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design, (ISLPED'03), Seoul (Korea), August 2003.
- Put in boldface the title of the publication.
- In each year, maintain the order of publication date. That means from December (top) to January (bottom)
STEP 2: Upload related files using “Upload File” feature on the Toolbox (left menu). Please, assume the following name format for uploaded files:
- SURNAME_FIRST_AUTHOR + CONFERENCE/JOURNAL_ACRONYM + YEAR (2 digits) + EXTENSION
Molina_islped03.pdf (camera ready) Molina_islped03.ppt (slides)
STEP 3: Add a link for each type of file related to publications (at list, upload the camera ready). To add a link:
- Edit publications page
- Select wikitext
- Add this command at the end of the reference: (Paper) being Name_Of_File the name of the uploaded file and (Paper) the text that describes the type of file.
For instance, the wikitext of a publication with links to camera ready and slides looks like this;
