Wiki
Purpose
We will use this wiki as a place to put the following:
- Lab news
- Lab policies
- Lab procedures
- Lab resources
- Lab infrastructure
- Lab member profiles
- Lab seminar (aka journal club/reading group) schedules
- Public-facing project pages
- And more...
What does not go into this wiki:
- Credentials (usernames/passwords)
- These should be shared via Stache.
- Correspondence
Organization
The wiki is based on Bookstack. The user documentation for Bookstack can be found here.
Public vs. Private content
Bookstack allows fine-grained visibility controls. Only lab members (i.e., people with lab accounts) have the ability to edit pages on this wiki. However, there are a couple of Books that are viewable by the public:
- Public
- Lab Manual
The 'Public' book is meant to act like a kind of 'landing page' for the public, and has things like lab news, etc.
The 'Lab Manual' book contains lab policies and procedures, and is public since we want to share this information with prospective students, etc.
You are welcome to create additional books, pages, and chapters as you see fit. These are subject to being curated by the lab PIs, especially if they are public.
If you want to create a new page and are not sure where to put it, you can put it in the 'Miscellaneous' book (visible only to lab members), and move it elsewhere in the future if it makes sense.
Editing
The wiki has support for both WYSIWIG and Markdown editing. Feel free to use whichever one you prefer. However, if you are copying content from a PDF file to a wiki page, please use the Markdown editor, in order to prevent the creation of spurious HTML markup.
