Giving a Wiki Lesson This Evening
I'm giving a little lesson on how to set up and use wiki software tonight at the Queen Street Commons at 6pm. Anyone who's interested should come by. (blue house next to the parkade)
Here's the post on the QSC blog: Link.
I'll be sticking to the easier methods of getting a wiki going rather than the finer points of MySQL and Apache administration. I have a standing policy against encouraging techno-masochism, so whenever I can steer people away from editing Apache configuration files or using the MySQL command-line interface I will.
I'll focus more on how the syntax and markup works, linking between articles, useful features of wiki software, that sort of thing.
If there are enough people there tonight I may even try an experiment involving a quick brainstorming session and instant website using the knowledge of the people in the room to quickly put something together.
