[Insight-users] [Announce] New Official ITK Wiki

[Gavin Baker]

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce the new official ITK Wiki is now available at:

  http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK

 * What is a Wiki?

A wiki is a collaborative hypertext environment.  It allows a community to
easily create, edit and share information, documentation and resources.  No
special software is required, beyond any standards-compliant web browser.

 * What is this wiki for?

The idea of this wiki is to complement the existing ITK documentation and
resources, and provide a mechanism where the community can enhance the
documentation, in the same spirit as the open source code.  The hope is that
it will grow to include recipes, FAQs, useful links, example code, and a
selection of the best questions and answers from the Insight-users mailing
list.  The wiki is especially aimed at new users and developers, although
advanced material is also covered.

 * What happened to the other wiki?

The original wiki that I set up at http://wiki.antonym.org/itk has been
superceded by this new official site (which also covers CMake and VTK).  All
the original content has been merged into the new site.  This provides a
central place for admin and backup, and consolidates all ITK content in the
one place.  Please add all new content to the www.itk.org/Wiki site.  Thanks
to Andy and Luis for setting this up.

 * Do I need to register?

You only need to register if you want to add or change content on the site.
It makes tracking changes much easier (not to mention crediting your
contribution!).  Your details will not be divulged or used in any way beyond
the scope of maintaining the site, and your real email address is not
published.

 * How do I edit pages?

Pages consist of plain text with simple markup.  Simply click on the 'Edit'
tab at the top of the page, and follow the instructions.  You are strongly
advised to preview all changes before saving them, and add a meaninfgul
comment that describes the change.

 * What is the syntax for the markup?

The new site uses MediaWiki, and the markup is described in the MediaWiki
Users' Guide (section 3) at:

    http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide

 * Where do I post questions about ITK?

Please continue to use the insight-users mailing list for your all questions
and discussion about ITK.  However, once you have a good answer please
posting it to the wiki in the appropriate section (eg. FAQs).

 * How do I do X with the wiki?

The site itself contains comprehensive built-in help, so feel free to
browse and explore.

~~

I hope this proves a useful resource for the community.  Let me know if you
have any questions.

Regards to all,

  :: Gavin
