intro

As of May 2015, I'm trying to make this actually useable. It might be a mess in the meantime. -vboyce

Things are just getting started. If you're an officer feel free to create a section for you to put your own stuff and start adding stuff. If you're coordinating with an officer, you can start moving their stuff from the athena locker to the appropriate place in the wiki. (That would be a great thing for non-officers with athena accounts to volunteer for.) Try to keep the chaos down as much as you can -- we're not really at the collaborative editing stage of things, but more the wholesale importing stage. I'm moving stuff to club-private/moved_to_wiki in the locker instead of deleting it, in case I screw up and we don't have backups somehow. -- sarac

Permissions

What should go on the wiki:

• Information about how to do officer jobs - ideally everything an officer would need would be in their section
• Historical information that future officers might want (subscription info, meeting minutes, etc)
• Information that club members might want (hack tips history etc)

Most of the wiki will be club-public, so if there's anything that should be officer only (for example, anything with somewhat private information or a lot of people's personal information) it should be As of May 2015, access is sort of a mess. The plan is that all pages are club accessible, except those that are restricted to tech-squares-officers. -vboyceIf it needs to be restricted more than tech-squares-officers, then it probably shouldn't be on the wiki (or even the internet) at all. 

 Do think about It's a good question who we want to have access to things -- one view says strictly officers or even individual officers, another view says why shouldn't everything except very private information be public to the whole club.  Right now everyone who had access to the athena locker before has access, plus current and last year's officers who don't have athena access.  We can revise it later and maybe create more and less public areas, but for now I'm trying to solve the problem of officers wanting to share information but not having access to the athena locker.  Do think about what you're putting in and whether it should be up here if it contains contains confidential or  or potentially hurtful information information.  I do not plan for us to ever make this world readable (that's what the web site is for). -- sarac

Current state of the wiki: The wiki is mostly useable, but in the process of being updated. I'll try to put notes at the top of pages about what should be added to them. --vboyce

wiki hints

Switch editing views between rich text, wiki markup, and preview to get a sense of what's going on.  Search for other pages and view the markup to see what magic is at work.  Click on the "insert/edit macro" icon in editing mode and explore the cool automatic stuff that's available.  Search the confluence wiki documentation, which is more extensive than the MIT wiki help.
