Agenda & Proceedings (315V)
- 1. Introduction and New User Orientation - SusanTurnbull and PeterYim (3162)
- number one page for newcomers is the WikiHomePage for solid background (3163)
- number two page for newcomers: http://community.cim3.net/wiki/ (3164)
- DougEngelbart pioneered groupware, hypertext and many of the seminal ideas underpinning this space - beginning ~40 years ago (3166)
- our Collaborative Work Environment (CWE) is a suite of 4 work spaces for the trusted community: (3167)
- a portal - to provide a convenient single point of entry to the environment and the work of the community - public facing facet (3168)
- a discussion forum (archived email forum) - to hold our conversations and discussions (virtually and asynchronously - not at the same time) (316A)
- enables you to focus on content of conversation and not administration (316B)
- every message becomes an html page that can be sorted by date or conversation thread (linked by replying to an earlier message) (316C)
- a wiki - to help us collaboratively compose our work (316D)
- like a web page; read and write web; one person at a time takes notes (316E)
- platform independent and people can be located anywhere in the world (316F)
- a file repository - to hold documents, work and resources that we can share, and (316G)
- 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 (316H)
- File-Sharing Workspace / Document Repository: (316I)
- in addition to linking to just the top of the page, linking is more granular -- fine-grained accessibility, linking to any paragraph or bullet point (316O)
- 2. Why do we need this? (316P)
- Mission of CIM3: improve the effectiveness of distributed collaboration for people (316Q)
- Ref: DougEngelbart - his seminal work is an inspiration for this space - particularly, his concept on OHS (OpenHyperdocumentSystem) and DKR (DynamicKnowledgeRepository) (316R)
- Tools segmentation: (316T)
- personal productivity vs. group productivity (316U)
- transaction systems vs. groupware (316V)
- thick client vs. thin client ('utility' software) (316W)
- Community segmentation: (316X)
- 3 modes of the CIM3 hosted CWE sites: 'open', 'community only' & 'secured' (318T)
- it's NOT about technology, it's all about getting work done effectively, especially when we are not in the same place (3172)
- it takes People, Process and Tools to achieve that (emphasis: People heads the list; and this is definitely not just about technology) (3173)
- To be able to wrap the right processes around tools with the right people in place to implement (3174)
- It's a participatory workspace (3175)
- it's about: (3176)
- sharing (3177)
- distributing the work (3178)
- getting things done without being in the same place, at the same time (3179)
- capturing the memory and knowledge over the entire life-cycle of the community (317A)
- have minimal structure to do work; spur innovation and emergent behavior (317B)
- perhaps appears very basic, but that's key to its expressive power and flexibility (317C)
- example of a community to look at: http://ontolog.cim3.net (317D)
- 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) (317E)
- 3. a mini wiki-tutorial: (317F)
- The top three things that make this wiki site different from an ordinary website are: (317G)
- (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) (317H)
- (2) you get automatic hyperlinking, through the use of the WikiWord. (317I)
- (3) the version history of any page is available, allowing people to see how the content has evolved, and to roll back to an earlier version with a few mouse clicks. (317J)
- "create account" / "login" (near upper-right corner of the page, right below the logo/icon, any page.) (317K)
- suggested using your name in WikiWord format as your UserName, and use some password (to avoid being spoofed too easily) (317L)
- pick a page (your namesake page or SandBox would be a good start) and click on "Edit text of this page" (near the lower-left corner of the page, any page.) (317M)
- write something onto your namesake page (317N)
- click "save" or "preview" - Preview enables you to see what your page will look like on the web after saving - while simultaneously showing the edit box. Its helpful to see how the text formatting rules are rendered on the web by looking at both windows. (317O)
- Summary box - annotates the nature of the change you made (317P)
- Text formatting rules can be found at the TextFormattingRules page. (317Q)
- take a look at the page index (317R)
- Site map index - click on the "Page Index" at the top (upper left, next to RecentChanges") of each page. (317S)
- Select "Recent Changes" at the top of each page to see which pages are changing (317T)
- also, take a look at "View other revisions" at the bottom left (317U)
- intro to PurpleNumbers (317V)
- 4. How to make comments in the wiki, including creating links (in-wiki: page & paragraph, from forum archives, from document repository, for the web) (317W)
- How to use "discussion forum" method for commenting (319Q)
- 5. Observations, Insights & advanced features (3188)
- 6. Q & A and Discussion. (32JK)
