- Remote dial-in details: (373J)
- Questions: (379T)
- 1. What are the four OS components? (379U)
- Agenda ideas: (participants: please add your ideas below) (373O)
Agenda & Proceedings (373T)
- 1. Introduction and New User Orientation - SusanTurnbull and PeterYim (3740)
- number one page for newcomers is the WikiHomePage for solid background (3741)
- number two page for newcomers: http://community.cim3.net/wiki/ (3742)
- DougEngelbart invented the mouse and pioneered personal computing, hypertext, network computing, groupware, and many of his seminal ideas underpinning this collaborative community workspace - beginning ~40 years ago (3745)
- our Collaborative Work Environment (CWE) is a suite of 4 work spaces for the trusted community: (3746)
- a portal - to provide a convenient single point of entry to the environment and the work of the community - public facing facet (3747)
- a discussion forum (archived email forum) - to hold our conversations and discussions (virtually and asynchronously - not at the same time) (374A)
- enables you to focus on content of conversation and not administration (374B)
- every message becomes an html page that can be sorted by date or conversation thread (linked by replying to an earlier message) (374C)
- a wiki - to help us collaboratively compose our work (374D)
- like a web page; read and write web; one person at a time takes notes (374E)
- platform independent and people can be located anywhere in the world (374F)
- a file repository - to hold documents, work and resources that we can share, and (374G)
- 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 (374H)
- File-Sharing Workspace / Document Repository: (374I)
- 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 (374O)
- 2. Why do we need this? (374P)
- Mission of CIM3: improve the effectiveness of distributed collaboration for people (374Q)
- Ref: DougEngelbart - his seminal work is an inspiration for this space - particularly, his concept on OHS (OpenHyperdocumentSystem) and DKR (DynamicKnowledgeRepository) (374R)
- Tools segmentation: (374T)
- personal productivity vs. group productivity (374U)
- transaction systems vs. groupware (374V)
- thick client vs. thin client ('utility' software) (374W)
- Community segmentation: (374X)
- 3 modes of the CIM3 hosted CWE sites: 'open', 'community only' & 'secured' (3752)
- it's NOT about technology, it's all about getting work done effectively, especially when we are not in the same place (3753)
- it takes People, Process and Tools to achieve that (emphasis: People heads the list; and this is definitely not just about technology) (3754)
- To be able to wrap the right processes around tools with the right people in place to implement (3755)
- It's a participatory workspace (3756)
- it's about: (3757)
- sharing (3758)
- distributing the work (3759)
- getting things done without being in the same place, at the same time (375A)
- capturing the memory and knowledge over the entire life-cycle of the community (375B)
- have minimal structure to do work; spur innovation and emergent behavior (375C)
- perhaps appears very basic, but that's key to its expressive power and flexibility (375D)
- example of a community to look at: http://ontolog.cim3.net (375E)
- testbed global community, in operation for over 4 yr., ~200 members from 20 countries - you're welcome to visit (join us too if you're interested in ontologies) (375F)
- 3. a mini wiki-tutorial: (375G)
- The top four things that make this wiki site different from an ordinary website are: (375H)
- (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) (375I)
- (2) you get automatic hyperlinking, through the use of the WikiWord. (375J)
- (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. (375K)
- (4) wiki's have traditionally been associated with 'openness' -- open content, open technology, open knowledge ... where community collaboration has been regarded as a core value. (375L)
- "create account" / "login" (near upper-right corner of the page, right below the logo/icon, any page.) (375M)
- suggested using your name in WikiWord format as your UserName, and use some password (to avoid being spoofed too easily) (375N)
- 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.) (375O)
- write something onto your namesake page (375P)
- 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. (375Q)
- Summary box - annotates the nature of the change you made (375R)
- Text formatting rules can be found at the TextFormattingRules page. (375S)
- take a look at the page index (375T)
- Site map index - click on the "Page Index" at the top (upper left, next to RecentChanges") of each page. (375U)
- Select "Recent Changes" at the top of each page to see which pages are changing (375V)
- also, take a look at "View other revisions" at the bottom left (375W)
- intro to PurpleNumbers (375X)
- 4. How to make comments in the wiki, including creating links (in-wiki: page & paragraph, from forum archives, from document repository, for the web) (375Y)
- How to use "discussion forum" method for commenting (375Z)
- How to use "in-line" method for commenting (376I)
- used to put annotated edits with name and date directly into the wiki document that is being developed within a small group (376J)
- 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) (376L)
- 5. Observations, Insights & advanced features (3763)
- 6. Q & A and Discussion. (376F)
