The Wiki Front Page is your front door into the Wiki. Use the Wiki for quick collaborative or initially unstructured projects. A Wiki has the lowest possible barrier of entry of all dynamic web creation tools. For a report on Wiki technology read the article by Christian Wagner in the CAIS (registration required). Have a look at WikiWord for an description of our WikiWord rules.

In line with the principles of Wiki feel free to add your own content to pages in the Wiki. Play fair, and try to keep it structured in the same way as existing entries. Here are the recent changes and contents . Get familiar with Wiki using the SandBox.

StructuredText: What does the Structured Text (and re-structured text) do? Is it some other form of markup up? Structured text is a low impact way of organising text so that it is rendered nicely in a compliant browser, no need for italics and underscore format options, you merely adopt conventions like "_underlined_" to make a word underlined, or "bold" to make a word bold. Think of it as a shorthand formatting technique. See StructuredText for the HowTo.

I think everyone should be forced under pain of buying the next round of department coffees to add at least one page into the wiki; as a form of induction into understanding the process of creating reverse indexed web pages

Can anybody edit the wiki pages? -- Mon, 20 Sep 2004 13:09:21 +0100 reply
Q: What happens when I add a CamelCase? word in the comments section as an anonymous visitor?

A: Anonymous can add comments, but...

but cannot create a new wiki page due to the gruf permissions setup for the site. If you really want to add your own wiki pages you need to register on the site first.
