First 45 minutes - Introduction and New User Orientation - SusanTurnbull and PeterYim ("ppy") ** number one page for newcomers is the WikiHomePage for solid background ** number two page for newcomers: http://community.cim3.net/wiki/ *** CWE for CWE users and administrators - our place to add content and help us learn together faster ** Suite of 4 major work spaces: ** DougEngelbart pioneered groupware, hypertext and many of the seminal ideas underpinning this space - beginning 30+ years ago *** a discussion forum (archived email forum) - to hold our conversations and discussions (virtually and asynchronously - not at the same time) **** enables you to focus on content of conversation and not administration **** every message becomes an html page that can be sorted by date or conversation thread (linked by replying to an earlier message) *** a wiki - to help us collaboratively compose our work **** like a web page; read and write web; one person at a time takes notes **** platform independent and people can be located anywhere in the world *** a file repository - to hold documents, work and resources that we can share, and **** like your file space, but remote. Requires one time set-up. Any content is accessible by a browser and the content can be referenced and you can point your audience directly to the link of interest **** File-Sharing Workspace / Document Repository: ***** http://colab.cim3.net/file/resource/ ***** http://colab.cim3.net/file/work/ ***** http://colab.cim3.net/file/community/ (community member password required to access) ***** http://colab.cim3.net/file/admin/ (administrator password required to access) ***** To access the File Workspace - refer to: http://community.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?FileWorkspaceAccess **** in addition to linking to just the top of the page, linking is more granular (fine-grained accessibility, linking to any bullet point *** a portal - to provide a convenient single point of entry to the environment and the work of the community - public facing facet **** first place people go to: http://colab.cim3.net * Why do we need this? ** Mission of Company: improve the effectiveness of distributed collaboration for people ** See DougEngelbart - his seminal work is an inspiration for this space ** it's all about getting work done effectively, especially when we are not in the same place ** it takes '''People, Process and Tools''' to achieve that (emphasis: ''People'' heads the list; and ''this is definitely not just about technology'') ** It's a participatory workspace ** it's about: *** sharing *** distributing the work *** getting things done without being in the same place, at the same time *** capturing the memory over the entire life-cycle of the community *** have minimal structure to do work; spur innovation and emergent behavior *** perhaps appears very basic, but that's key to its expressive power and flexibility ** example of a community to look at: http://ontolog.cim3.net *** testbed global community over the past 3 yr. - over 100 members from 13 countries - you're welcome to visit (join us too if you're interested in ontologies) * 2. a mini wiki-tutorial: ** The top two things that makes this wiki site different from an ordinary website are: *** (1) anyone who can read from the site, can also write to the site (so, it is a read-and-write web, not just read-only) {nid 2LRT} *** (2) you get automatic hyperlinking, through the use of the WikiWord. ** write something onto your namesake page *** Text formatting rules can be found at the [http://community.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TextFormattingRules TextFormattingRules] page. ** take a look at the page index (via search) *** Site map index - place cursor in search box and hit enter (with a _blank_ search term) ** intro to PurpleNumbers {nid 2LRX} ** Select "Recent Changes" at the top of each page to see which pages are changing *** One-time only - click on "Preferences" link (also at the top of the page) - type your name in wiki format - then hit save - with that any changes will be identified by your name, not your IP adress *** Summary box - annotates the nature of the change you made * 3. How to make comments in the wiki, including creating links (in-wiki: page & paragraph, from forum archives, from document repository, for the web) ** How to use ''"in-line"'' method for succinct commenting within a small group *** edit by putting your suggested change in parentheses under the relevant section followed by your wiki name and date - e.g. (Suggest revising this definition...--SusanTurnbull / 2005.02.09 12:30pm EST) ** How to use ''"forum"'' method for commenting on the DataReferenceModel_09_2004 *** large document, large number of contributors representing all interested parties and anticipate contributions that may include large "amounts or chunks of pages") *** use purplenumber method to anchor your comments to the relevant paragraph **** Right click on the purplenumber following the section identified for comment, like the "" at the end of this line **** Select copy shortcut **** Paste into your email message with subject line - Comments **** Follow the examples of comments provided below; purplenumber is pasted in after ref: (for reference) **** Add your name, date and time in parentheses **** Send your message to the public site at: drm-public@colab.cim3.net ***** DataReferenceModel ---- ***** Example: Comments * ref: http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SandBox#nid7VT ** suggest changing from: "You can insert a graphic image too:" ** changing it to read "You can insert a graphic image (jpg, gif and png formats) too:" *** (--SusanTurnbull / 2005.02.09 12:30pm EST) * ref: http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SandBox#nid7VW ** Comments: This is a very important section. (--SusanTurnbull / 2005.02.09 12:45pm EST) : Comments received from the public forum (drm-public@colab.cim3.net) will be added to the bottom of the relevant page with the corresponding "purple number" link. ---- * 4.
