Introduction and Purpose
This is a trial of using a wiki to store information on Club administration and other ideas that leaders can store for the future. A wiki at its most basic is simply a tool for multiple people to be able to easily edit web pages (without needing to know HTML or having to use FTP, etc.). For this wiki, the intent is to give Club leaders a place to store information for future leaders and to use for collaboration. One example might be to think of it as ‘virtual position binders’ (that we actually use), for leaders to keep notes on what was accomplished, ideas for projects that didn’t happen, or documents that were created. Maybe you use it to keep documents or reminders for yourself that you don’t want to forget. It can also be useful to think of it as a ‘whiteboard’ where multiple people can work on the same document. Multiple revisions of documents can also be stored, useful for things like policies or other things that provide historical perspective. Possibly its best use can be as a centralized place where files are uploaded.
To create new pages, type in anywhere a page name and surround it with double square brackets. When you save this page, the brackets will be replaced by a link to your new page.
To upload a file, click on the “Add Images and other files” button (it’s at the top right). Please try to place files in the namespace for your area and name them logically. Given that this is still experimental, it’s recommended that you still keep a copy of documents handy, just in case.
