Laurel Mueller has suggested that NSCSS maintain individual member biographies. Great idea, and a wiki is ideally structured to support a biography project. In particular, the collaborative editing qualities of the wiki allows the individual members to keep their information up-to-date. The short bios we use for elections and the information we have in the member files are good sources to build upon. Our officers and board members are a great place to start.
A wiki is an easy-to-use Web site that makes it profoundly easy to collaborate on projects. This wiki has been made public to allow anyone to read it, while still restricting editing to those who know the wiki's password. Edits are done in plain text and don't require learning fancy or complex codes like HTML. Just click Edit page and start typing! It's also easy to create new pages and make links to pages you've already made.
Where do I start?
Passwords, available to NSCSS members, will be emailed on a regular interval. Regular users are encouraged to create a permanent “PBwiki Identity” by visiting http://my.pbwiki.com. These users won't be affected by periodic password changes.
What is next?
A great place to contribute content is about yourself at MemberBiographies.
