Wikis in general

What is a wiki?

Why should we use a wiki?

  • Because it makes it easier for anybody, and especially non-technical users, to add content.
  • Because it makes it easier to collaborate when creating documents.

Using the wiki

  • First you need to get a user account by contacting Terje Røsand. Then, log in.
  • To edit a page, just click on edit above a page you want to edit, write something, and then click on Save page.
  • A red link means that the page doesn't exist yet. Click on the link if you want to create it.
  • More about editing pages
  • Just ask questions.

Potential applications of this wiki

  • A partial or complete replacement for http://hi.ntnu.no
  • Dictionaries of terminology in Norwegian and English
  • Student project proposals
  • Homepages for projects, courses and people that don't have homepages elsewhere
  • Links to relevant resources
  • Book recommendations
  • Calendar
  • CFPs
  • Discussions

Student project pages

How do I create a student project page?

Do the following:

  • Log in. (Create a user if you don't have one.)
  • Go to Student projects.
  • Click "edit".
  • Add a link to your coming page like this: [[Your project title]]
  • Save.
  • Go to The template testing project.
  • Click "edit".
  • Copy all the wiki code.
  • Click on the link you just created at Student projects.
  • Click "edit".
  • Paste the code you just copied. Your project page now contains an application of the Student project template.
  • Edit the template application you just pasted, replacing the variable values with information about your project.
  • Do not write anything outside the template application.
  • Preview and edit until your are satisfied.
  • Save.

(Here is the Template. Here is some info about templates. You probably don't need to read that.)

Email Ole if you have any questions.
