===general notes on organization===
:This wiki collects information and ideas that can help to grow the Occupy Boston movement. As authors we want to create compelling and interesting content. To a large extent, the wiki organizes itself as we link to each others ideas.

:This wiki (Mediawiki(same software that runs Wikipedia) allows the creation of webspaces for each user and working group.

====personal webspaces====
:As a general guideline, we suggest that you put your developing work, personal manifestos and collected interesting stuff in your user webspace. Consider the main wiki to be a public face of Occupy Boston and as such it should draw in readers to the movement with concise well edited content.

====[[Working Groups]] - pages a workspaces====
:[[Working Groups]] have a public face and can have a group workspace. To have a workspace for the group create a working group account by [http://wiki.occupyboston.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup creating a new user account] following the convention User:WG-groupname and create internal working group content as subpages of User:WG-groupname ([[#creating a subdirectory in your webspace|see below]])

====referencing other documents====
=====to link to pages on the wiki=====
:Put a link using double brackets and the name at the top of the page like this <nowiki>[[page name]]</nowiki>
=====to link to pages on other sites=====
:You can create a link to content off site by creating a link with single brackets like this <nowiki>[http://urlofpage.com/page]</nowiki>
====posting a document hosted only on your personal computer====
:Click on 'Upload file' on the left menu bar.
====Adding Notes====
*Notes about format and language often belong right on the page.
*Notes should be in brackets and announced. [Note: This is an example of a note.]

===Creating content (basic)===
:Creating your own content is easy. You can edit any page by clicking on '''Edit this page (top right)''' . You can comment on any page by clicking on '''Discussion''' tab. After you add your content sign it by clicking on the '''signature button''' (the second button from the right on top or enter <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>) then '''save page (bottom)'''.[[User:Mcktimo|Mcktimo]] 00:47, 23 October 2011 (EDT)

====creating content in your webspace====
:1st make sure you are logged in.
:To write in your page click on your username at the top of the page. Click on edit this page. Just start writing at the top of the page. Your prior writing will be pushed down and your most current writing will always be at the top of the page. Start a new paragraph by skipping a line. Don't indent(if you want a paragraph to be indented put a : in front of it). Hit '''save page''' (at the bottom of the page) to save your work. Do it often!

{{:creating a user: subpage}}

:To organize your work give each piece of writing its own title. To create a title, type, on its own line: 
<nowiki>==your title here==</nowiki>

*another point
*etc
just start a line with an *
 For a numbered list
#first
#second
#third
just start each line with a # symbol (don't skip lines)

====writing a poem====
:If you don't skip a line the text on the next line always 'wraps' to follow the text on the line above. Sometimes that's not cool,like for a poem. To avoid word wrap you can use <nowiki><pre> </pre></nowiki>

:Another way to prevent word wrap is to just skip a line.

==== using the graphical editor====
:A graphical editor is a little slower. It hides the guts of the wiki markup language.

==== moving stuff from Word? ====
:Write in Word. Single spaced, do not indent first lines, skip lines between paragraphs. Copy and paste into the wiki when you are done.

There are many other cool things you can try that create nice pages...

==== List Moderation and Notices to List Owners ====

the trick for reducing the number of notices is to set the filter here:

https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/admin/EMAIL_LIST_NAME/privacy/sender

"Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit
action is defined" -> Accept

The filter here:

https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/admin/EMAIL_LIST_NAME/privacy/subscribing

"What steps are required for subscription?" -> Confirm

The filter here:

https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/admin/EMAIL_LIST_NAME/general

"Should administrator get notices of subscribes and unsubscribes?" -> No

With these settings, you shouldn't get any requests for anything. This
means the lists will be wide open, but it should also permit a more free
flow of information without a bunch of notices.
