Forum:Computer help wiki

I work for a charity called U Can Do IT (see www.ucandoit.org.uk) which provides computer tuition for disabled people in the UK. I am currently trying to start up a wiki at wiki.ucandoit.org.uk which will fulfill various functions for the charity. Perhaps the most important of these is the provision of a set of Instructions and Course Notes for U Can Do IT students to use while they are taking the course.

I have publicised the wiki amongst other U Can Do IT tutors, but I don't think many of them are particularly experienced in editing wikis. Would any experienced wikians be able to provide any help in building the UCanWIKI? Accounts are by invitation only, but there's a link on the main page of the wiki from which you can email me an account request. Even if you don't want to contribute, any general advice (e.g., already-extant sources of computer instructions, general design tips etc etc) would be great.

Thank you! --Jim0203 10:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC) wiki.ucandoit.org.uk


 * Looks like a great project! I wish you all the best with it :) -- sannse (talk) 08:35, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd advise you open up the wiki if you really want people to get involved. Disabling anonymous editing and only allowing accounts to be created by admins is a really bad idea in the early stages of a wiki when you need to grow more than you need to keep out problem users.
