Marketing wiki usage

Tools to ease your work with the wiki

Basic rules of usage and participation

Here are a few hints on how to work on the Marketing Project's wiki pages. This is a general proposed procedure but not a strict one:

  • Use the links above to navigate throught the existing wiki sections.
  • While you are in an existing page that interests you... check both the "article" tab to see the finalized texts that are written or that are being worked on - and also check the "discussion" tab for viewing the discussions that are being held in the development of that text.

Contributing:

  • Note that for contributing you have to be a registered user of the wiki site. We recommend using the same username as on your OOo website login.
  • A. Contributing to an existing page:
    1. Navigate to that respective page after you logged-in on the wiki site.
    2. Click on the "discussion" tab on the top of the page.
    3. Click on the "+" (PLUS) sign near the "edit" tab to add a new comment.
    4. Propose your changes to the "article" or describe your ideas in the body of the comment (even paste/write your version of the text if you wish).
    5. In your writings please use these Wiki Editing Guidelines as a formatting guide.
    6. Please sign your contribution to discussions by adding four tildes on a new line below your contribution ~~~~.
    7. Announce us on our mailing list dev@marketing.openoffice.org (send a blank email to dev-subscribe@marketing.openoffice.org address to subscribe first) or directly the persons with which you are working on the page.
    8. Watch for responses on the lists and in the "discussions" tab and if all agree... commit your changes to the article by using the "edit" tab after you pressed the "article" tab.
  • B. Creating a new page:
    1. Ask for project's permission to add a new section by using the "discussion" tab on this index page and by adding a new comment (see instructions above) in which you propose a name and describe the purpose of the page.
    2. Announce the project members by mail.
    3. If they agree, "edit" the "Project Work Sections" area and at the end of it add a line like this:

      * [[Marketing--Page title here]] - page description in one line goes here

      NOTE the square brackets which designate a link inside the wiki. Also note the "Marketing--" segment of the page naming which must be there (as a convention inside the project) to indicate that the page belongs to the Marketing Project wiki pages.
    4. Insert a description like: "added New Section named...etc" and save the page.
    5. Right now you should have a new bullet added to the list in the Marketing Project main page with a link in red which indicates that by clicking on it you will create the new page.
    6. Click on that link to start editing.
    7. First add a link to return to the main page by copy/pasting this line into the page:

      [[Marketing]]

    8. Then add 2-3 carriage returns and start writing
    9. What to write: a short mission statement for the new page, then write the proposed contents the page. When done, give a clear description to your changes and Save the new page.
    10. At the end use the "discussion" tab in the new page to add your first comments on what should be done further.
    11. Announce project members.

Final note: Wiki is intended for collaborative work and for immediate access to start writing. This is why the above notes saying "announce the project" on every step are more of a wish from the project members to be kept posted about what is going on, rather than mandatory. Contributions are welcome and you are free to start writing.

Hope this is not too complicated and that you have fun too.
