Simple Wiki Instruction

Let's be modest: a big job on 'More Joy Per Person' should not be done like a one-women or a one-man show. Better is it to collaborate, best is to collaborate according to very effective set of rules of play.
Collaboration on Internet with many others, independent of location and time, that's what Wiki is designed for. With Wiki, creating and editing web pages on a subject that matters to you, becomes within your reach. It is by far easier than writing the normally used HTML-web pages. On this page you will find all you need to make a good start.

Participants on workshop:
Groep1 (water purifying)
Groep2 (Wikipedia)
Groep3 (Wind follower)
Groep4 (step-bike)

This Demotech workshop is on getting some feel how collaboration on Internet could work. We picture ourselves as with our head high in the clouds of the theoretical conditions for a different economy, while at the same time we stand with our feed in the mud of the reality of a shanty town.

The information we want to put on Internet with Wiki in this workshop is about a Demotech project, named 'Wall Rack', on which we published up to now only a minimum of information. You can find it at design:59.

How to edit a Wiki-page?

• Click the red 'Click here to edit this page' link in the left hand column. The same text of your Wiki-page now pops up in an edit window and only now can be changed.
• Add to this text or modify it in a way you want.
• Check if you have made no mistakes and it you are content with the layout, For this click the button: 'Preview' under the edit-window and make changes again in the edit window if needed,
• Finalize with the button 'Save'.

The rules for basic page make-up are simple:

• Start each line without any spaces
• Put a blank line between paragraphs.
• To make text bold start with ''', end bold again with ''' (like '''bold''')
• Learn more simple tricks by clicking the button PmWiki/TextFormattingRules
• Test how it works, without a chance to spoil something: click the WikiSandbox page.

The Wiki exercise during this workshop
It is just to give you some feel as surprisingly few people know about this system. To make it realistic, transfer the notes taken at the Concept Making Session to a Wiki page of our Demotech Research website.
