Introduction
Started in December 2006, this wiki is intended to serve as an extension of the NSCSS Website.
Purpose
The wiki is for those portions of the website that benefit from direct editing by members.
Acceptable Use Policy
Our Acceptable Use Policy is posted. It applies to all authorized users.
Relationship between this wiki and the NSCSS website
Functional guidelines are fairly obvious:
- dynamic news feed content (such as we are experimenting with at ../mic.html ) is not supported in the wiki.
- Approved content, such as the mission statement, goals, bylaws etc. are not dynamic, so will not be placed in the wiki.
- pdf format content can be linked regardless.There may be reason to better define this relationship. At this point we have no defined reason to produce comprehensive guidelines that could be used to determine which content is best maintained in wiki format and which content is best hosted in html format.
Features
Anyone we give the password to can edit this wiki. Each page has some sort of RSS subscription capacity (see 
bottom right of page) and editors can opt for email notification of changes. Like the website, the wiki is fairly easy to keep organized using a combination of links, tags and pseudo-directory links (see across the top).
Future
Right now the structure and content is directed to educating NSCSS-ers about the various vehicles we have to complement the website. In the future we anticipate porting substantial website content to the wiki. Candidate content to bring over includes:
These two uses, a dynamic ideas formulation forge for our web-based services, and providing those services, may be two incompatible uses. If that is the case, we can either minimize/drop the "forge" use, or a second wiki may be needed. The first alternative appears preferable.
