| - | ===== Foundational skills | + | ===== Who are our curators and contributors? |
| - | * [[getting an account]] | + | To manage a knowledge resource such as this, we need a variety of knowledge, skills and experience, which may not come all together in the same person. We need: |
| - | * [[navigating | + | * knowledgeable and experienced people, who have deep knowledge of the topic, and its relevance to the Commons; |
| - | * [[watch pages]] | + | * people who can put this knowledge into a form that is easily understood by non-specialists; |
| - | * [[editing, saving & reverting]] | + | * more technical people who are able to get this knowledge into the right form for this wiki. |
| - | * [[different editing techniques]] | + | |
| - | * [[page section headings]] | + | |
| - | * [[basic text formatting]] | + | |
| - | * [[lists]] | + | |
| - | * [[links]] | + | |
| - | * [[linebreaks | + | |
| - | * [[inserting images]] | + | |
| - | * [[emojis and special characters]] | + | |
| + | If someone has all three, that's wonderful! But it's not necessary. We would like teams of curators to work together collaboratively, | ||
| - | These skills will get you started, and be enough for most page editing. | + | If you want to extend your skills in the technical direction, just ask and we will help you! |
| + | ===== Basic skills ===== | ||
| + | * [[Getting an account]] | ||
| + | * [[Navigating the site]] | ||
| + | * [[Watch pages]] | ||
| + | * [[Editing, saving & reverting]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | These are the skills which we would like as many curators as possible to have. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, you can still be a curator without going through this, if someone else is willing to do the technical work for you. We can't say anything general about the knowledge and experience of the topic itself — that's up to you! But we can say something about the skills needed to work with this wiki, and this is what is set out below. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Middle level skills ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [[Different editing techniques]] | ||
| + | * [[Page section headings]] | ||
| + | * [[Basic text formatting]] | ||
| + | * [[Lists]] | ||
| + | * [[Links]] | ||
| + | * [[Linebreaks and spaces]] | ||
| + | * [[Inserting images]] | ||
| + | * [[Emojis and special characters]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | These skills are enough for most page editing, and we hope that there will be a good number overall of people willing to master these skills. Age is not a barrier, but we expect that more younger people will be able and willing to get into this. | ||
