 ====== Documentation for curating this wiki for Growing the Commons ====== ====== Documentation for curating this wiki for Growing the Commons ======
 +//Hi! I'm [[user:asimong|Simon]], and working with the others Growing the Commons, I've created this documentation, because I really wanted to make it as easy as possible for the kind folks who are volunteering to help curate our pages to learn how to do it, by themselves if that suits them. And if it doesn't, please ask me!//
  
-//There is a [[playground:playground]] where you can try all of the skills below. Try it!//+//I mean, look at [[doku>syntax|DokuWiki's own syntax page]]. Fine for techie geeks, maybe, but also, for normal people that could be the kind of thing that puts you off reading "the manual"? Understood, and that was what made me try to do a whole lot better.// 
 + 
 +//Also, because I want these pages to be as helpful as possible, please tell me if there is anything I could explain better, or more clearly.//

 +//There is a [[playground:playground]] where you can try all of the skills below. Try it! Any questions, or requests for clarification or more information, please get in touch with me, [[user:asimong|Simon]].// 
 + 
 +//Or, if you feel adventurous, try adding [[annotations]] to anywhere that doesn't help you as much as it could.//

 If someone has all three, that's wonderful! But it's not necessary. We would like teams of curators to work together collaboratively, to cover all three points in whatever way is possible. We hope that these people, with their different skills, will enjoy and benefit from working together. If someone has all three, that's wonderful! But it's not necessary.
