wiki-wiki-WOW

with very very special thanks to the e-brains and server space of dondi dionisio ('87) and lionel valdellon ('89), sibol now has a wikipedia.

in case you missed dondi's iPad-esque announcement, here's his email below:

Greetings Sibolistas,

Lionel Valdellon has generously shared part of his personal domain for use as the Dulaang Sibol Wiki:

http://sibol.valdellon.com/wiki

It's up, it's running, and it's virtually empty :) The wiki is viewable by all, but only editable by people with accounts.

If you are not familiar or comfortable with entering wiki content yourself, I'm happy to transcribe content for you. Just send me a PDF or any other document, and I will endeavor to put those in as they come. If you have content in a format that the wiki does not accept (e.g., Word, etc.), if you send the file to me, I can convert it into a PDF that can then be uploaded.

The wiki accepts image files, PDFs, and MP3s as file uploads; this can be used for storing posters or finished written work, for example. No editable documents however (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, etc.) --- the wiki software has trouble with these.

The wiki uses the same software as Wikipedia, so if you are familiar with that, or any other site that uses this software (e.g., Wikia, Wikibooks, etc.), then you will feel right at home. There is an "About this wiki" link that provides some suggestions, conventions, and guidelines.

If you would like to contribute directly to the wiki (and we hope that a lot of you will, since the power of wikis lies in collective knowledge), please contact Lionel or Dondi for an account. We will need:

* Your name
* Your desired account name (no spaces, first letter is always capitalized)
* Your e-mail address

When your account is created, the system will e-mail a password to the given address. An account also comes with a user page (click on your account name once you've logged in), and you can use that to share any (publicly viewable) information that you'd like to share about yourself.

I think that's all...if you have any questions, send them my way. Happy wiki-ing!

--- Dondi
