 ===== Wiki? What Wiki? ===== ===== Wiki? What Wiki? =====
  
-A Wiki is a place to share information among a group of people. Information is not created by itself; instead, some people must create the information so other people can benefit from the shared knowledge. The other people can then use their own knowledge to update existing or add new information. A wiki is therefore a highly dynamic information exchange platform. That some information will be outdated is unavoidable; please inform the [[lofaradmin|administrator]] if you encounter outdated infomation, this helps us to keep the Wiki as up to date as we can. +A Wiki is a place to share information among a group of people.

 ===== WSRT Operations Wiki ===== ===== WSRT Operations Wiki =====
 +This Wiki exists to collect operations related information of the [[http://www.astron.nl/p/observing.htm|WSRT]]. It is maintained and used by Radio Observatory staff. 
 +
 +To navigate this wiki, you can choose one of the sections in the navigation window on the left, or do a 'search' query in the search box. 
 +
 +All users are invited (even urged!) to add or update information in this Wiki. If you want to add new information, but have not yet decided or just don't know where it belongs, please enter the information in the [[waitingroom:start|waiting room]]. Your information can always be moved to a more appropriate place later. The most important thing is, is that the information then already has entered this Wiki, which makes it available to other users. All new contributions must be in English.
 +
 +When you enter this Wiki for the first time, or without logging in, you have only read access to the public information. The right to make modifications is granted when you have [[this>doku.php?do=register|registered for an account]]. 
 +
 +All questions and remarks can be send to the [[ro_wiki@astron.nl|administrator]].
 +
  
-The goal of this wiki is to bring together information which is relevant for people who use, maintain and operate the WSRT telescope. All people active in one of these fields are encouraged to register and share their knowledge of, and experience with the WSRT. You can register on the page you'll see when clicking on the [[http://wsrtweb.nfra.nl/tmswiki/doku.php?do=login|'log in' link here]], or at the top right of this window. 
  
 ===== Using a Wiki ===== ===== Using a Wiki =====
  
 Every Wiki has its own syntax for text markup. Something one just needs to get acquinted to... For this Wiki, a brief explanation can be found [[http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:syntax#external|here]], or, when you open a edit page, through a link ('syntax') provided at the top of your screen. The edit page has some short-cut buttons that you can for markup, sectioning, creating links, creating lists, inserting an image or attaching a document. It even has spell-checking options. Every Wiki has its own syntax for text markup. Something one just needs to get acquinted to...

 +===== Preferred page layout =====
 +
 +We strive towards a more-or-less uniform presentation of information. We therefore like to see a uniform page layout and navigation style.
 +
 +Most of the pages will simply be pages that lay out the tree structure leading to the desired documentation; these pages contain mostly links to other pages, and thus I call these //link pages//. The preferred style for a link-page is given [[main:linkpagelayout|on this page]].
 +
 +A //document//-page, on the other hand, contain mostly useful information. Of course, it will also contain some links but its main goal is not re-direct the reader, but to inform the reader. These pages may be referenced from several other (link) pages. The preferred style for a document-page is givene [[main:documentpagelayout|on this page]].
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +Detailed documantation (i.e. pages with lots of text) should be at the lowest level.
