Wiki 101
Hint: See Wiki Cheatsheet for wiki editing cheatsheet.
This Wiki 101 page will be one of the steps on the New_Developer_Orientation checklist. Working document for the script is @ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FDUb25_uALUT9bFyAeFP_thSIn_k_VbcAfpaNf5tBBA/edit# and will generally follow the same outline as this page.
The self verifying test for Wiki 101 will be the creation, formatting, and population of the Developer's log (the general steps in section 3 @ New_Developer_Orientation) as well as adding their information to OSE_Developers.

Now that your log page is created, you will need to know how OSE work logs are structured. This is an example log page which is a good template to work from, and to help keep logs consistent and easy to navigate, this is the format you should use. Notice that the latest is on top so that someone looking at your page can see your most recent work immediately. Note also that the date format for each entry uses the three letter weekday, three letter month, day, and four digit year, and any times use 24 hour time and note your timezone.
Create a headline for the date like I am doing now by either bracketing your date in double equals signs or click this icon above the text entry box.
(Publish early & often. Always link / embed files, even if you're not done. Put your newest work on top. Style-wise, keep it short and sweet like post-it notes on progress.) Review Best Practices for Logs.
Add links
Link to the following top of your log (for quick reference): Wiki Formatting Help if you might need it. Add the Timesheet link. This is how we submit time sheets every Monday. Add the Google Hangouts link. This is where we meet. Add the D3D for the general 3D printer project overview. Add the Development Team Log. This is where we keep all our working files and link our captured meeting videos (if you happen to miss one). Add your teammates' logs. At the first meeting you will be assigned to a team. Once you find out, refer to the Developer’s Page to find the links to their logs, and link to them on top of your page. Add the OSE Network. This is our official discussion thread.
