- So your instructor has given you an assignment involving RocWiki. Great! We look forward to your contributions. - - In order to help you out, we have several resources and guides available. Here are two good ones to get you started: - - * ["Wiki Guide"] - How to get started with editing the wiki - * ["Help On Editing"] - Specific information on how to edit wiki pages - - In addition to reading the above guides, you might find it helpful to spend some time browsing the wiki to see how it is structured, and to get a good feel for how to create and edit pages. - - A few helpful hints: - - * Your user page is for information about ''you''. We generally don't delete,remove or edit a user page, but it may happen if it's totally off topic - * RocWiki's target is Rochester related information, and completely unrelated pages tend to get removed. Anyway, there's already a place for all that [http://www.wikipedia.org other stuff] - * Descriptions should be mostly factual, with a little wiggle room for 'common knowledge' stuff. Save your opinions for the comments section. - * If you want to test things out, please make use of the ["Wiki Sand Box"] - - We have an active community of users willing to help. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them in the comment box below or on your user page. You'll be surprised how quick we are with answers! - - Thanks for helping to enrich our community! - - [[comments]] - ------ - ''2007-04-27 14:28:29'' [[nbsp]] Wow, the very concept that teachers would assign students to do Wiki work is amazing. The internet has really taken a step forward and I welcome our future editors. --["TravisOwens"] - ------ - ''2007-04-27 17:31:16'' [[nbsp]] It is...definitely nice. We need to put this page and the Guide for Educators predominantly on the front page --["PeterBoulay"] - ------ - ''2007-04-27 17:34:22'' [[nbsp]] Maybe we should make a "New to RocWiki? Start here!" section on the front page that contains links to this page, the educators page, and the general editing page for everyone else. We can take that editing section down at the bottom, revise it a bit, and move it up to the top where it's more visible. --["RachelBlumenthal"]	+ #redirect Wiki Community/RocWiki in the Classroom
