History: FAQs for this wiki

Q. I am confused about how to use this site and participate. What should I do?

Reading this FAQ is a good start. You may also want to post questions on the site's discussion forum.

Q. What are the different ways to participate in this community?

You can contribute to this community in many ways:

• Post comments: At the bottom of every page is a form that allows you to post comments.

• Edit content: At the bottom of every page is an edit link. Click on that link and you can modify the content of the page.

• Create new pages: Edit a page and add a link to a new topic on it. NEED INSTRUCTIONS HERE.

• Post on the Wiki-translation discussion forum: If you have something generic to say and want most of the community to hear it, you can post a message on the Wiki-translation discussion forum. Most of the members of the community receive notification whenever a new message is posted there. The Wiki-translation discussion forum is also a good place to post questions on how to use the site.

You do not need to be a registered user to contribute, but we encourage you to register.

Q. Can anyone edit this site and what is the editing policy?

Yes, but please see our Editing policy.


Q. How can I follow what's happening on this site?

There are many ways to do this. If you are logged on as a registered user you can decide to track specific changes on the site. You do this by clicking on the eye icon at the top of the page (note: if the eye icon is crossed by a red bar, it means you are already tracking that page).

You can also track the discussion forum. Again, you do this by clicking on the eye icon. The discussion forum is often used to advertise new topics created by people, or to broadcast messages that are of general interest to the whole community.

Finally, whenever you visit the site, you should be able to click on a Recent Changes link to find out which pages have changed recently. Unfortunately, that link seems to be hidden at the time of this writing (some menu on left column is missing). In the mean time, use this link: tiki-lastchanges.php. You could also use RSS (when enabled) to see recent changes.


Q. Is there an RSS feed for the recent changes?

A. Yes, there is, but it seems to be disabled right now. It can be requested to be enabled (I guess). To see how it works, when enabled, see this page.


Q. How do we discuss about issues related to this project/site: List? Forum? Comments on pages?

A.
