== Policies ==

A wiki is a place where a large number of people can contribute to content generation and organization. A wiki '''can be used as a repository for a large amount of information which can be organized later'''. We encourage you to internalize this point and start using wikis as a place where human knowledge can be collected, and value can be added to that knowledge by further organization towards applications.

The goal is organize this initial input into distilled, high-quality content. A successfully-implemented wiki has the capacity to self-organize under the guidance of clear procedures in the hands of wiki moderators. Please familiarize yourself with these procedures:

* The [[Wiki Login Policy]] states that users have to log in before creating new pages or editing existing ones.
* The [[Wiki Transparency Policy]] states that the wiki can be viewed by anybody.
* The [[Wiki Documentation Standards]] page describes a workflow to ensure good quality of the OSE wiki.

== Curation ==

A great wiki relies on a high level of curation. Let's work together to keep quality high. If you feel like changing anything to improve this wiki, please do so.

== Content ==

A wide scope of things can be included in the wiki - anything related to accelerated innovation via open source development.

The wiki is designed to be a 'braindump'. Add new information whenever you think it is missing. Before adding new content, search for pages with similar topics. Do not repeat yourself (DRY).

Short entries, or stubs, are acceptable because they can be used as a definition later. Please '''do not''' erase any articles or stubs because database memory is cheap - and well-organized or features articles are not affected in any way by the much wider pool of stubs or less prominent articles.

=== No advertisement ===

There shall be '''no''' advertising on this wiki. Sourcing information and product reviews are allowed, as long as they are directly related to the creation of [[Distributive Economics]].

== Structure ==

We structure information within the wiki using templates and grouping.

We use [[Dozuki]] as a external presentation layer for GVCS machines and modules. Dozuki serves as a nice looking link collection to wiki pages. The main data storage is the wiki.

=== Templates ===
* How to create a template: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:A_quick_guide_to_template
* Good examples for templates include [[Template:GVCS_Sidebar]]
* Find most used / unused / ... templates on [[Special:SpecialPages]]

=== Grouping ===
* Use '''Categories''' to organize a large number of pages, media, and even other categories. Read [[Using Categories]] for more information.
* Use '''[[#Creating Subpages|Subpages]]''' to group pages hierarchically. Don't use too many levels of nesting as this will lead to long names.
* Discuss here how to create [[Subcategories]]

== Style Guidelines ==

We make the wiki easy to read and fun to edit by following style guidelines.

* Keep it simple and positive.
** Use short words and phrases. <s>Never use a long word or phrase where a short one will do.</s>
** Try to find an everyday English equivalent for foreign phrases, scientific or jargon words. <s>Acronyms, foreign phrases, jargon and neologisms must be avoided.</s>
** Use active instead of the passive. <s>Never use the passive where you can use the active.</s> (e.g. say "We built the house on Tuesday" rather than "The construction of the house took place on Tuesday".)
** Break any of these rules in favor of simplicity.
* Do not repeat yourself (DRY).
* When writing about measurements, list both imperial and metric values. List both Fahrenheit and Celsius for temperatures.
* The first sentence of an article should be a one-sentence summary of the whole topic
** The next paragraph should be a longer summary of it.
** Then go into details.

== How To's ==

{{Hint|This should be embedded as Google Doc - Dozuki Guide is another platform and we are disusing it since it's not open source}}

This section describes some important tasks when editing the wiki.

=== Log In ===

{{Info|Log in first!|Before creating new pages or editing existing ones, you have to '''[[How_to_Get_an_Account_on_the_Wiki|log in first]]'''.}}

Any person contributing to the project in a substantial way should fill out the [http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Tech_Team_Culturing_Survey Tech Team Culturing Survey], and therefore, any name should be linkable with a full description of the person, such as [[Marcin Jakubowski]]. This will facilitate referencing and connection between projects and developers. The potential contributions of a person should be transparent if they fill out their abilities in the [[Team Culturing]] Survey.

Please see '''[[How_to_Get_an_Account_on_the_Wiki|How to Get an Account on the Wiki]]''' for more details or if you are unable to log in. Also, check out our Open ID Step Instructions: [[File:Step_Guide_to_Logging_in_With_OpenID.pdf]]

=== Commenting ===

To discuss the content of a page, begin by clicking on the '''Discussion''' tab in the upper left corner, just to the right of the '''Page''' tab. Here you can leave suggestions and constructive criticism. At the end of your comment be sure to '''sign it''' using the sign button which is located in the group of buttons directly above the text editing field, second from the right.

=== Searching ===

You can search for content by typing your search terms on the '''search box''' at the '''top right corner''' and clicking one of the search buttons at the right.
* The '''first button''' will search for text matches on '''this wiki only'''
* The '''second button''' will perform a ''custom Google search'' on '''this wiki''', on '''our [http://blog.opensourceecology.org/ blog]''', on '''our [http://forum.opensourceecology.org/ discussion forum]''' and '''other related sites''', like ''Appropedia''.
** For more details, see the page about the [[OSE custom search engine]]

{{Tip|Search before creating a page|Articles on our wiki should be cross-referenced against articles on [[Special: interwiki|neighboring wikis]] (like ''P2P Foundation'' or ''Appropedia'') to avoid re-inventing the wheel any more than we have to.
So, before creating a page, use the ''second'' search box to see if there are any existing articles on related wikis. If so, creating a link to it may be better than creating a new page, unless the existing page on the other wiki does not contain enough information.

Articles from any wiki listed at [[Special: interwiki]] can be linked to by using the value at the ''Prefix'' column, like this:
'''<html><pre>[[Appropedia: Comparison of electrical motors]]</pre></html>'''
which creates this:
[[Appropedia: Comparison of electrical motors]]
}}

===Uploading a File===

====Simple Way====
# [[How_to_Get_an_Account_on_the_Wiki|Create an account on the wiki.]]
# In the sidebar, under “{{lcfirst:{{int:toolbox}}}}”, click “'''{{int:upload}}'''.”
# Click “'''Browse'''” next to the “'''{{int:sourcefilename}}'''” to locate the file on your computer (the name of the “browse” button depends on your web browser).
# Change the “'''{{int:destfilename}}'''” to something descriptive, if necessary.
# Fill in the “'''{{int:filedesc}}'''”, if necessary.
# Click the “'''{{int:uploadbtn}}'''” button.
# When the file is uploaded, you will be shown a link to the file destination on the OSE wiki.
# To embed the file in your Work Log or on another page, put the file link (such as File:filename.ext) between double brackets - [[]] - and paste into the page that you are editing.

If it is a large file, you may need to wait several seconds for the upload to complete.

====Advanced Way====
To upload a file, go into Edit Mode and use double brackets, followed by File:filename.extension, followed by a closing double bracket. For example (click Edit to see actual code) [[File:filename.ext]]
# Click Save
# Upon saving, a link is created
# when you click on that link, Mediawiki will ask you to upload the corresponding file. Any file type can be used.

=== Creating New Pages ===

To start a new page or to edit an existing one, just type the desired page name in the [[#Searching|search box]] at the top left corner (the one '''above''' the ''OSE custom search engine'' box) and click on the button labeled '''Go'''. If a similar page already exists, you might want to edit that page instead of creating a new one. Otherwise, click on the message '''Create the page "''your page name''" on this wiki!''' (at the top of the search results) to create the new page.

Then you can start editing the page. Also, while editing a page, you can create links to new or existing pages with double brackets around their title, for example: <pre>[[My New Additions]]</pre>

=== Creating Subpages ===

{{Tip|When to use subpages|
A subpage can be used to group pages belonging to some topic or main page
* to create user-specific pages in a given user's ''[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#User_space user space]''.
* to create [[Translation#Page_Title_Convention|other language versions of an article]]
* to create '''archives of old discussions''' under a talk page
* to create '''scratchpad editing spaces''' under a user page
}}

{{Info|User Spaces|Pages on user spaces do not have to follow strict quality guidelines, as they '''are not official''' OSE content.
Other pages should reflect more closely the official OSE stance on a given issue.}}

If you want to create a [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages subpage] named '''A subpage name''' under a given page (for instance, '''My Parent Page'''), all you have to do is to ''create a page'' whose title is '''My Parent Page/A subpage name''' ''(see [[#Creating_New_Pages|how to create a page]])''.

You can also link to subpages from the parent page using a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Link#Subpage_feature specific link format].

==== Examples ====

* [[User:Elifarley/pds]] - a subpage named '''pds''' in [[User: Elifarley| Elifarley]]'s user space

=== Deleting Pages ===

A page is a good candidate for deletion if it is advertising or some other malicious attack. Otherwise, everything, no matter how silly, should not be considered for deletion - because this wiki is a sandbox where people explore many things including editing wiki pages. Since memory is cheap, do not delete others' pages as a general rule.

Only Sysops can delete pages. If you're not a Sysop and you would like to mark a page as a candidate for deletion '''(see the [[#When_to_Delete|criteria for deletion above]])''', you should add the following text at the top of the page you would like to delete:
<nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki>
This will include the [[Template: delete| delete]] template and will add that page to a list of [[:Category: candidates for speedy deletion| candidates for speedy deletion]].

And if a page is to be deleted, all pages pointing to it should be changed BEFORE the deletion occurs, to avoid broken links.

=== Redirecting ===

You can redirect a page to another page by replacing the contents of the original page with a '''#REDIRECT''', like this:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[My destination article]]
</pre>

You can redirect a page to an [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links#Interwiki_links interwiki link] too:
<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Appropedia: Justa stove]]
</pre>

[[Using Categories|Adding a category]] may help others find the page, since it'll be listed on the corresponding category page:

<pre>
#REDIRECT [[Appropedia: Justa stove]]
[[Category: Cooking]]
</pre>

{{Tip|Too many redirect pages?|If you're afraid that the wiki will get cluttered with redirected pages, fear not. You can see this as a feature (a good one), not a bug, since anytime someone tries to add a page with title X (X being one of those redirected pages), they would be redirected to the appropriately-named page, instead of being given the chance to create a page with different title but similar content.}}

=== Editing Pages ===

{{Tip|Tips|
* '''Before editing''' a page, click the '''discussion''' tab at the top to check what others are saying about that page
** You can add your own considerations or questions there too
* '''To edit existing pages''', just click the '''edit''' tab
* '''Before saving''' your changes, click the '''Show preview''' button located just below the editing window to make sure everything is as expected
* '''To save''' your work, click the '''Save page''' button
* '''To create links''' to pages inside this wiki or to files uploaded to this wiki, '''ALWAYS''' use [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Links#Internal_links internal links] ('''never''' use regular links of the form <nowiki>http://opensourceecology.org/...</nowiki>)
}}

While in edit mode, there are some buttons at the top of the editing window to help with formatting text, creating links, inserting objects, etc.

== Wiki Syntax ==

You need the wiki syntax to format pages, include images and structure content.

To learn about wiki syntax:
* Read http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting.
* See how the syntax looks like at the [[Wiki_Cheatsheet]].
* Click "edit" on any page you like and use it as a good example. Copy the syntax and use it on other pages.
* Use the [[Sandbox]] to try your new skills.

Some of the most important syntax features are described below.

=== Sections ===

'''[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext_examples#Section_headings Section headings]''' are created by creating their headings, as below:
<pre>
== First Section ==
=== First sub-section ===
==== First sub-sub-section ====
== Second Section ==
</pre>

{{Tip|Top-Level Sections|Top-level sections should start with '''2 equal signs at each side''', as in '''<html><pre>==My Top-Level Section Example==</pre></html>'''

Sections with only one equals sign per side causes a title the size of the page name. On Wikimedia wikis they are used only sparingly and in prescribed circumstances.
}}

=== Inserting Tables ===

You can copy and paste your data from your spreadsheet to http://area23.brightbyte.de/csv2wp.php and it will convert it to a cut and pasteable mediawiki table.

=== Inserting Templates ===

You can insert a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template template] using this code:
<nowiki>{{My Template}}</nowiki>

To '''create or edit a template''' named ''My Template'', '''simply create a page''' named ''[[Template: My Template]]'' (see [[#Creating_New_Pages|how to create a page]]).

=== Text Markup ===

Text color: Put in the name of the color in this markup.

<pre><span style="color: green">Some text</span></pre>
The example above generates this:

<span style="color: green">Some text</span>

Strikethrough: <s>Strikethrough</s>

=== Inserting Images ===

==== Uploaded Images ====

To insert an image, anywhere in the body of a page, type:
<pre>
[[Image:filename.jpg]]
</pre>
Then click ''Save page''. After the page is saved, you'll be allowed to click on that filename, and the wiki will prompt you for an image file to upload.

==== External Images ====

You can simply paste links to images from any of the sites defined on [[MediaWiki: External image whitelist]].
See also: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableImageWhitelist $wgEnableImageWhitelist]

Example: '''<nowiki>http://openfarmtech.org/temp-gvcs-icons/3d-printer.png</nowiki>''' gives this image:

http://openfarmtech.org/temp-gvcs-icons/3d-printer.png

==== Inserting Image Galleries ====

[[Image:fefrepstrap1.jpg]]

Use the ''gallery'' tag. Example code:
<pre>
<gallery>
Image:fefrepstrap1.jpg
Image:fefrepstrap2.jpg
Image:fefrepstrap3.jpg
Image:fefrepstrap4.jpg
Image:fefrepstrap5.jpg
</gallery>
</pre>

Produces this:

<gallery>
Image:fefrepstrap1.jpg
Image:fefrepstrap2.jpg
Image:fefrepstrap3.jpg
Image:fefrepstrap4.jpg
Image:fefrepstrap5.jpg
</gallery>

=== Directly Linking to Uploaded Files ===
You can create links to any kind of uploaded file (be it an image, a PDF file, etc).

Please see instructions at the top of the [[Special: Upload]] page.

(See also [[#Editing Pages]])

=== Inserting Movies ===

[[File:Example.jpg]]====Youtube Videos====
To insert clickable thumbnails of YouTube videos, use [[Template: YoutubePopup]], as in this example:

* YouTube video you want to embed: <nowiki>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=</nowiki>'''6dwdAF2qr7g'''<nowiki>&feature=player_embedded</nowiki>
* Wiki syntax you should use: <nowiki>{{YoutubePopup|</nowiki>'''N9NnW7ScjpQ'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>

which produces

{{YoutubePopup|N9NnW7ScjpQ}}

====Other Videos====
To insert videos in general, see this example:

</html>

For any video, insert the <nowiki><html> and </html></nowiki> tags, and put in the html code that you get from YouTube or some other video format.

=== Embedding Google Docs ===

[[How to Embed a Google Doc]]

=== Embedding from Blip.tv ===

Here is a sample embed settings screen from blip.tv. Note that you do 'share', 'legacy player', then click 'go.' Then, make sure you select 'in-line player', flv for flash video - and then click 'update embed code above'. Then, copy the code into the blog, and in the blog, make sure you are in HTML, not visual, mode.

[[Image:blipembed.jpg]]

=== Subtitling Videos ===

Here's how to activate Universal Subtitles for your videos:

1- Go to http://universalsubtitles.org/ and click on "Subtitle a video"
2- Paste the URL of the video you want to have subtitled. The URL can point to a file in Ogg, WebM or FLV format, or it can point to a video hosted on YouTube or Blip.TV (Vimeo support will be available soon). Examples of URL:

WebM file: http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/m3P14laP-283112.webm
YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shqrdCBTD70
Blip.TV video: http://blip.tv/file/3841170/

3- A black page with a central video and a close button (a red tab on the top right corner) will appear. This is the initial step where users can start typing the subtitles for the video. Since you probably don't want to create the subtitle text right away, but instead want the embed code to paste on your blog, you can just click on the close button.

4- In the next screen, the embed code can be found inside the text box below "Embed this video in your site". Just click on the 'Copy to clipboard' icon next to it. The embed code will look like this:

<pre>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s3.www.universalsubtitles.org/embed.js">

(

{"video_url": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shqrdCBTD70"}

)

</script>
</pre>

This embed widget is in alpha stage, so it may have some bugs. I have tested it with youtube videos and it worked quite well. With Blip.TV, the video wouldn't play though.

It'll be really great when it's working correctly with Vimeo and Blip.TV

=== Inserting Mathematical Symbols ===

You can write [http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/latex.html LaTeX] code to render math symbols on our wiki, which uses [http://www.mathjax.org/ MathJax] to display them.

Example:
'''<pre>
<math>
\operatorname{erfc}(x) =
\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}} \int_x^{\infty} e^{-t^2}\,dt =
\frac{e^{-x^2}}{x\sqrt{\pi}}\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(2n)!}{n!(2x)^{2n}} + \sfrac{(2a)!}{n!(2b)^{2n}}
</math>
</pre>'''

produces this:

<math>
\operatorname{erfc}(x) =
\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}} \int_x^{\infty} e^{-t^2}\,dt =
\frac{e^{-x^2}}{x\sqrt{\pi}}\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(2n)!}{n!(2x)^{2n}} + \sfrac{(2a)!}{n!(2b)^{2n}}
</math>

while this

'''<pre>this is $ \sfrac{1}{4} $ of a minute...</pre>'''

produces this:

this is $ \sfrac{1}{4} $ of a minute...

=== Inserting Source Code ===

Always wrap source code in 'pre' tags. This ensures proper formatting, and means that someone can copy code without having to 'edit' the page first.

An example looks like this (you can view the markup in Edit mode):

<pre>
int mainup = 5; // Define pins by plugin of hydraulics
int maindown = 6;
int secin = 10;
int secout = 11;
// Define pins 5, 6, 10, and 11 according to their hydraulic
// function on the CEB press - moving main cylinder up and down,
// and moving secondary cylinder in and out. 'In' is defined as
// the direction of brick ejection motion out of the machine.
</pre>

The following can be found on my website 'About Us' page (www.logicalinnovationsnetwork.com) which should provide sufficient information on my professional background:

Being a year 2000 graduate of the Electronics Engineering Technology program, has allowed Trevor Black to be a generalist when it comes to the engineering aspect of Electronics, but a specialist when it comes to the various technologies involved in the Field of Electronics. As a technologist, the aspect Mr. Black has chosen to professionalize himself in is circuit board design, otherwise known as PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Layout. PCB layout not being an aspect taught within the regular school curriculum at the Canadian College level, Trevor was given exclusive experience through the Summer Apprenticeship Program. In conjunction with his Academic Award, which was given to the student with the highest grade in the first year of the program, Mr. Black was therein employed part-time among the college professors as a student assistant. During this time, Trevor was asked to pioneer a well known EDA software called Protel98 by Altium, as the professors intended to re-design a classroom lab experimental board that was created by a prior student at St. Lawrence College several years earlier. It was during this time, that Trevor’s passion for circuit board creation was first ignited. Upon graduation, Mr. Black was hired on by a leading EDA software company called Mentor Graphics as an Application Engineer (a position that is usually offered to minimum university graduate Electronics Engineers only). Trevor Black was then employed as a PCB Layout Designer for a distinguished and well-established company called Vision Circuits, in which much more vital and valuable experience was gained. Next Mr. Black was contracted for a year by W.R. Davis Engineering, to prototype & assemble 4 MCU's (master control units) and 7 power cabinets for a segmented wave generator; used to test military equipment under ocean conditions. For a short time after that, Mr. Black designed schematic drawings and revised obsolete layouts for power supply and power & light converter circuits. Since then Trevor has worked with various companies, some related to electronics, others related to sales & management, all that have added additional value to a thoroughly-contemplated business model. Now as the founder and operator of a company in circuit board design, Mr. Black now seeks to expand his personal development through his technical research project seeking certification as a C.E.T. (Certified Engineering Technologist) with OACETT, and as a C.I.D. (Certified Interconnect Designer) with IPC.

During this time, Trevor was asked to pioneer a well known EDA software called Protel98 by Altium, as the professors intended to re-design a classroom lab experimental board that was created by a prior student at St. Lawrence College several years earlier. It was during this time, that Trevor’s passion for circuit board creation was first ignited. Upon graduation, Mr. Black was hired on by a leading EDA software company called Mentor Graphics as an Application Engineer (a position that is usually offered to minimum university graduate Electronics Engineers only). Trevor Black was then employed as a PCB Layout Designer for a distinguished and well-established company called Vision Circuits, in which much more vital and valuable experience was gained. Next Mr. Black was contracted for a year by W.R. Davis Engineering, to prototype & assemble 4 MCU's (master control units) and 7 power cabinets for a segmented wave generator; used to test military equipment under ocean conditions. For a short time after that, Mr. Black designed schematic drawings and revised obsolete layouts for power supply and power & light converter circuits. Since then Trevor has worked with various companies, some related to electronics, others related to sales & management, all that have added additional value to a thoroughly-contemplated business model. Now as the founder and operator of a company in circuit board design, Mr. Black now seeks to expand his personal development through his technical research project seeking certification as a C.E.T. (Certified Engineering Technologist) with OACETT, and as a C.I.D. (Certified Interconnect Designer) with IPC.

The following can be found on my website 'About Us' page which should provide sufficient information on my professional background:

Being a year 2000 graduate of the Electronics Engineering Technology program, has allowed Trevor Black to be a generalist when it comes to the engineering aspect of Electronics, but a specialist when it comes to the various technologies involved in the Field of Electronics. As a technologist, the aspect Mr. Black has chosen to professionalize himself in is circuit board design, otherwise known as PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Layout.
