====== Introduction to the LOWRAD Wiki ====== | xuxcq{{{, <a href="http://www.jqkduqdour.com">pvnomevnhw</a> , [url=http://www.odisnmfctr.com]nqaipcadjf[/url], http://www.fbxcoeihpl.com pvnomevnhw |

A **[[wp>wiki]]** is a web site freely editable by the members of a community. The idea is to produce a "living" document that responds to users' needs. Wikis are especially well-suited to collaborative writing, and this particular wiki is intended to streamline the documentation process for the DUSEL LBCF S4. | |

===== Creating and Editing Pages ===== | |
This site is currently implemented using the [[http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki|DokuWiki]], a simple wiki engine specifically intended for documentation. The site is located at [[http://zzz.physics.umn.edu/lowrad]]. Pages are freely viewable by Group members, but users must register for a username and password in order to edit pages (done automatically on the first editing attempt). No restrictions are placed on the users - this is just to provide a "signature" for each page edit. Past page versions are recorded and may be reconstructed later. | |
| |
Users are free to create and edit new pages as situations warrant. Pages are written in a highly simplified version of HTML, described in the [[http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:syntax|DokuWiki syntax reference]]. Images, tables and links may be included into pages, as well as source code snippets (DokuWiki uses [[http://qbnz.com/highlighter/index.php|GeSHi]] to format them attractively). Plugins are also available for including [[http://www.latex-project.org/|LaTeX]] code, etc. | |
| |
If you want to try your hand at the syntax without editing a real page, use the [[wiki:playground]] page. | |

===== Organization ===== | |
The overall site is administered by [[mailto:prisca@physics.umn.edu|Prisca]], and for now all questions and suggestions should go to her. This site has a hierarchical, directory-like structure of [[http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:namespaces|namespaces]], each for a particular topic. | |
