=== Description ===

The Women's Caucus is a forum for those who identify as women to: discuss issues of gender, promote participation of those who identify as women in working groups, discussion, and other leadership roles, maintain the safety of those who identify as women within the camp and movement, and provide resources to improve the retention of those who identify as women.

Come to a meeting to see what we're about! '''On Tuesday, Nov. 22''' we will meet in the mezzanine at the at South Station food court. Please note that we must purchase from the vendors there (even just a beverage) if we wish to meet there undisturbed. On '''Saturday, Nov. 26 ''' we will meet again at the mezzanine (one floor up) at the South Station food court. From there we might visit the new Women's Resource Tent while it's still light outside. We will not leave the mezzanine earlier than 4. During times of unseasonably mild weather we may meet at the Rose Kennedy Greenway (the park with the sculptures) directly across the street from Dewey Square. We will always give notice and leave signs (and tell the Info Desk) about our meeting locations.

Renjender: /* Press Release for Dec. 4th March */

=== Description ===

The Women's Caucus is a forum for those who identify as women to: discuss issues of gender, promote participation of those who identify as women in working groups, discussion, and other leadership roles, maintain the safety of those who identify as women within the camp and movement, and provide resources to improve the retention of those who identify as women. Our meetings are open to anyone who identifies as a woman. You do not need to be camped at Occupy Boston to attend meetings.

=== Contact ===
Feel free to contact us at [mailto:obwomen@occupyboston.org obwomen@occupyboston.org]. Please use that email and do not email our mailing list directly unless you are a member: all messages not from members will automatically bounce.

=== Meetings ===

Meetings occur '''Tuesdays from 5:30 - 7''' and '''Saturdays from 3:30 - 5'''.

Come to a meeting to see what we're about! '''On Tuesday, Nov. 22''' we will meet in the mezzanine at the at South Station food court. Please note that we must purchase from the vendors there (even just a beverage) if we wish to meet there undisturbed. On '''Saturday, Nov. 26 ''' we will meet again at the mezzanine (one floor up) at the South Station food court. From there we might visit the new Women's Resource Tent while it's still light outside. We will not leave the mezzanine earlier than 4. During times of unseasonably mild weather we may meet at the Rose Kennedy Greenway (the park with the sculptures) directly across the street from Dewey Square. We will always give notice and leave signs (and tell the Info Desk) about our meeting locations.

=== Membership ===

At this time only those who identify as women can attend our meetings and join our very active [http://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/womenscaucus mailing list]. We also have a [http://www.facebook.com/groups/290899497595996/ Facebook group] which is, again, open to members who identify as women. Please note that although only members can post to that group, anyone can read the posts. Also note that anyone can edit this (or any other) wiki page. If you read something odd here, that's probably why.

'''Allies:'''

If you do not identify as a woman you can still be a good ally to our group and to women in general. Actively advocate in mixed groups and among other men for women's safety in the encampment (and beyond), more prominent roles for women in the movement (and beyond) and regularly challenge sexist language and assumptions wherever you hear them.

Womens Caucus

2011-11-21T23:20:14Z

Renjender: /* Contact */

=== Description ===

The Women's Caucus is a forum for those who identify as women to: discuss issues of gender, promote participation of those who identify as women in working groups, discussion, and other leadership roles, maintain the safety of those who identify as women within the camp and movement, and provide resources to improve the retention of those who identify as women. Our meetings are open to anyone who identifies as a woman. You do not need to be camped at Occupy Boston to attend meetings.

=== Contact ===
Feel free to contact us at [mailto:obwomen@occupyboston.org obwomen@occupyboston.org]. Please use that email and do not email our mailing list directly unless you are a member: all messages not from members will automatically bounce.

=== Meetings ===

Meetings occur '''Tuesdays from 5:30 - 7''' and '''Saturdays from 3:30 - 5'''.

Come to a meeting to see what we're about! '''On Tuesday, Nov. 22''' we will meet in the mezzanine at the at South Station food court. Please note that we must purchase from the vendors there (even just a beverage) if we wish to meet there undisturbed. '''Saturday meetings''' will be at a nearby, indoor location to be determined. In case of unseasonably mild weather we may meet at the Rose Kennedy Greenway (the park with the sculptures) directly across the street from Dewey Square. We will always give notice and leave signs (and tell the Info Desk) about our meeting locations.

=== Membership ===

At this time only those who identify as women can attend our meetings and join our very active [http://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/womenscaucus mailing list]. We also have a [http://www.facebook.com/groups/290899497595996/ Facebook group] which is, again, open to members who identify as women. Please note that although only members can post to that group, anyone can read the posts. Also note that anyone can edit this (or any other) wiki page. If you read something odd here, that's probably why.

'''Allies:'''

If you do not identify as a woman you can still be a good ally to our group and to women in general. Actively advocate in mixed groups and among other men for women's safety in the encampment (and beyond), more prominent roles for women in the movement (and beyond) and regularly challenge sexist language and assumptions wherever you hear them.

Renjender: /* Description */

=== Description ===

The Women's Caucus is a forum for those who identify as women to: discuss issues of gender, promote participation of those who identify as women in working groups, discussion, and other leadership roles, maintain the safety of those who identify as women within the camp and movement, and provide resources to improve the retention of those who identify as women. Our meetings are open to anyone who identifies as a woman. You do not need to be camped at Occupy Boston to attend meetings.

=== Contact ===
You can contact us at [mailto:obwomen@occupyboston.org obwomen@occupyboston.org]. Please do not email our mailing list directly unless you are a member: all messages not from members will automatically bounce.

=== Meetings ===

Meetings occur '''Tuesdays from 5:30 - 7''' and '''Saturdays from 3:30 - 5'''.

Come to a meeting to see what we're about! '''On Tuesday, Nov. 22''' we will meet in the mezzanine at the at South Station food court. Please note that we must purchase from the vendors there (even just a beverage) if we wish to meet there undisturbed. '''Saturday meetings''' will be at a nearby, indoor location to be determined. In case of unseasonably mild weather we may meet at the Rose Kennedy Greenway (the park with the sculptures) directly across the street from Dewey Square. We will always give notice and leave signs (and tell the Info Desk) about our meeting locations.

=== Membership ===

At this time only those who identify as women can attend our meetings and join our very active [http://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/womenscaucus mailing list]. We also have a [http://www.facebook.com/groups/290899497595996/ Facebook group] which is, again, open to members who identify as women. Please note that although only members can post to that group, anyone can read the posts. Also note that anyone can edit this (or any other) wiki page. If you read something odd here, that's probably why.

'''Allies:'''

If you do not identify as a woman you can still be a good ally to our group and to women in general. Actively advocate in mixed groups and among other men for women's safety in the encampment (and beyond), more prominent roles for women in the movement (and beyond) and regularly challenge sexist language and assumptions wherever you hear them.

Working Groups

2011-11-21T02:12:03Z

Renjender:

'''Working groups''' are teams of people within the Occupation, each focused on a particular area or task. These groups are the organs supporting the body of the Occupation. Within them you will find resources, discussions, and courses of action in every field.

Working groups are '''open''', which means anyone can help out, including you! Like the Occupation as a whole, working groups are run as horizontal democracies, using consensus decision-making and holding publically accessible meetings. To join or volunteer with a working group, see its wiki page for contact information and meeting times.

=== Description ===

The Women's Caucus is a forum for those who identify as women to: discuss issues of gender, promote participation of those who identify as women in working groups, discussion, and other leadership roles, maintain the safety of those who identify as women within the camp and movement, and provide resources to improve the retention of those who identify as women. Our meetings are open to anyone who identifies as a woman. You do not need to be camped at Occupy Boston to attend meetings.

=== Meetings ===

Meetings occur '''Tuesdays from 5:30 - 7''' and '''Saturdays from 3:30 - 5'''.

Come to a meeting to see what we're about! '''Tuesday meetings''' are onsite at the Women's Resource Tent, the large orange tent near the Gandhi statue. The entrance is on the Purchase St./Surface Road side of Dewey Square (not the South Station/Atlantic Ave. side). If the group is too large to meet in the tent we will migrate to the food court at South Station. Please note that we must purchase from the vendors there (even just a beverage) if we wish to meet there undisturbed. '''Saturday meetings''' will be at a nearby, indoor location to be determined. This '''Saturday, November 19''' our meeting is postponed because of The Summit and will be from '''6:30-7:30''' (see below). In case of unseasonably mild weather we may meet at the Rose Kennedy Greenway (the park with the sculptures) directly across the street from Dewey Square. We will always give notice and leave signs (and tell the Info Desk) about our meeting locations.

This wiki is a collaborative and informative space dedicated to Occupy Boston. As authors, we want to not only create the most compelling content, but also organize it in the most intuitive manner. The wiki generally organizes itself as it expands, but here there are a number of guidelines for reference.

:''View Mediawiki's [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting formatting help]''

==Basics==
'''[http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Help:Editing 5 Second Wiki Lesson]'''

Every page on the wiki should '''clearly represent a specific idea'''. You can clarify the intent of a page (and thereby direct its future use) by adding a precise description of its function, which will strongly promote the healthy growth of the wiki.

'''Page titles''' should be short and sweet, and should contain relevant hierarchies if possible. For example, a draft proposal from the Safety WG should be entitled ''Safety/Proposal X''. This creates navigable sub-spaces for our mass of information by automating 'return' links, but only when both the sub-page and the host page exist. For example, if both pages ''WG'' and ''WG/Proposal X'' exist, a link to ''WG'' will automatically appear at the top of the ''WG/Proposal X'' page.

* '''Etiquette''' should require no more mention than this.
* Before you begin editing, please quickly '''browse the navigation bar''' on the left to get a feel for the structure of the wiki.
* '''Internal links''' are like nerve endings - they pick up and direct information within the whole. Consider the many paths by which collaborators and visitors might want to explore the wiki, and try to create a network with many 'nerve endings'. Information should be linked on any and all relevant pages.

==Methodology and Content Rights==
'''''Anyone can become a content creator, but no one is ever a content 'owner.'''''' See the cautionary note on every Editing page:
<blockquote style="border: 0px solid blue; font: 14px Times, serif; font-style: italic; padding: 0em;">If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it here. </blockquote>
[http://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] is standing proof that crowd-sourced content creation and management can be effective on a global web-space.

===Etiquette===
Before you modify a page, please consider the intent of the existing text. There are many authors, and everyone is making their best contributions.
* You can 'check-in' with prior editors by using the Discussion and History tabs at the top of every page.
* If you want others to collaborate regarding your notes, '''don't forget to sign your comments''' by inserting four tildes (like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). The wiki will automatically insert a link to your user-page next to a time-stamp for the comment.
* You can email other users by going to their user-page and clicking the link that appears in the bottom of the side-bar. This will send an email to the address registered with that username.

===Public vs Personal Space===
As a general guideline, please consider the main structure to be a public face of Occupy Boston. It should have the appearance of professionalism, inviting readers with clarity, brevity, and relevancy.

It is suggested that users keep their works-in-progress, personal manifestos, and reference collections in their own user web-space. Create sub-pages in your user-space with the following naming convention: ''User:YourName/Page Name''.

==Editing==
* Use the tabs at the top of every page for ''Discussion'' and ''Editing''. (Practice editing a page in the [[Sandbox]].)
* '''Please review your Preferences''' (see link in uppermost right corner):
** Under ''Preferences --> Editing --> Advanced options'', please check the box to ''''Mark all edits minor by default''''. (You can un-check this for every individual edit, right above the 'Save Page' button.)
* Nothing can ever be truly un-done - '''every edit is archived''' within the History of each page.

:''Read [[User:Renjender|Renjender's]] [[Help:Editing|"Five Second Wiki Lesson"]]''

===Formatting===
Use <nowiki> </nowiki> for a new line where you don't want a larger space to appear. Otherwise, just skip an extra line. 
Use <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> to disable automatic formatting. 
This text is '''<nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki>'''. 
This text is ''<nowiki>''italic''</nowiki>''. 
This text is <nowiki>underlined</nowiki>.

====Headings, Table of Contents, and Lists====
* Use headings to create sections and sub-sections on a page.
** It is recommended to always skip the <nowiki>=First Heading=</nowiki> (which is generally reserved for the Title of the page), and
** Only use the <nowiki>==Second==, ===Third===, ====Fourth====</nowiki>, headings, etc.
** Use of at least 4 headings on a page will automatically create a table of contents above the first heading.
** To disable the table of contents, place <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> anywhere on the page.
** Place the table of contents elsewhere by using <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki>
* Use an asterisk (for bullets) or a number sign (for numbering) at the beginning of each line to create a list (this line begins with *)
*# You can embed numbers/bullets within each other in various levels (this line begins with *#)

===Links and Files===
* '''Internal''' links are made with ''double brackets'', such as <nowiki>[[Page Name]]</nowiki>
* '''External''' links are made with ''single brackets'', such as <nowiki>[http://someurl.com Display Text]</nowiki>
* Upload '''files''' (documents, images, videos, etc) from your computer via link in the bottom of the side-bar.

===Adding Notes===
Notes about format and language often belong right on the page. These are apart from the general Discussion, which can be accessed via the tab at the top of the page.
* Notes should be in single brackets and announced as a note. [Note: This is an example of a note.]
* Don't forget your signature (using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), otherwise no one will know how to collaborate with you!

==5 Second Wiki Lesson==

1) In order to edit wiki you need to have an account. Create an account by going to [http://wiki.occupyboston.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup&returnto=Occupy_Boston http://wiki.occupyboston.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup&returnto=Occupy_Boston]. All you need to do is create a username and choose a password.

2) Make sure you are '''logged in'''. If you are logged in, you will see your username at the top right(ish).

3) Click the "edit" tab in the right hand corner of what you want to edit (or start writing). A page that hasn't been written yet will have an option for you to start writing, even if you just created it.

4) Unsure of how to include something you need in your page? Find a page that has that thing, open it up as if to edit it and copy the formatting you need.

'''A Few Tips'''

1) Decide on a title of a page '''before''' you start writing in it. When you change the title, wiki will automatically open up a new, blank page. You can copy and paste from the old URL to the new page, but who needs that hassle?

2) Don't indent or otherwise start a line with a space. It will play havoc with the formatting

3) Edit in either RichText (linked at the upper left) or the default and try to stick with that one editor. Otherwise you might end up with a lot of extraneous brackets, quotes and other things that will make your page look horrible.

Working Groups

Renjender:

'''Working groups''' are teams of people within the Occupation, each focused on a particular area or task. These groups are the organs supporting the body of the Occupation. Within them you will find resources, discussions, and courses of action in every field.

Working groups are '''open''', which means anyone can help out, including you! Like the Occupation as a whole, working groups are run as horizontal democracies, using consensus decision-making and holding publically accessible meetings. To join or volunteer with a working group, see its wiki page for contact information and meeting times.
