Notes for Editors

Editing page content is easy. Please follow the notes above the edit-toolbar (when editing a page) to get you started with dokuwiki.

most entries are still barebone meta-information (only visible in box or index) with little extras, or few comments. It should be straight forward to fill in or update meta-tags like screenshot, link, author, etc. and extend the wiki-page with information.

Re-assigning tags (or meta-topic, meta-category) is not as easy as we would like to have! At the moment new categories are generated by using a new tag in any wiki page.

The category page corresponding to a tag is not automatically generated, but has a generate-template (just click create and save). - look up existing category tags and extend this list by hand editing after inventing new tags! (this last step will soon be automated.)

• there is a template of meta-information that we'd like you to fill in and the wiki page can extend as needed.
• assigning tags, and meta-topics is still tricky
  1. cut and paste category names
  2. use underscores within one tag, use space to separates tags
  3. each meta entry is unique!
  4. read more
• all applications or projects have their own wiki page in /apps:all:name
  1. choose a name for the application
  2. visit the /apps:all:name directly
  3. clear the page to delete it.
  4. edit/create it the same way
  5. we have a button for that, too:

We are considering to use dokuwiki also for comments and blogging, but until we decide so, we encourage to add comments directly to a wiki page under an appropriate heading at the bottom.

use the wiki for suggestions or join discussion about ongoing work there.
