For those not familiar with a wiki it is a type of end-user editable web page that works by using simple, plain text in combination with some special markup symbols (also in plain text) to generate headings, bulleted lists, bold, etc. Anyone with a login on this site can open a page for editing right in their browser, add or change text, then click save and the page is updated. Creating new pages is easy as well.

An excellent 3 minute general wiki intro is available at http://www.commoncraft.com/video/wikis Note that the “link” button on this wiki behaves a little bit differently than the video but is still simple and well documented.

The (simple and easy to use) help page is linked to from the top of every edit page, at syntax.

You can practice your wiki edits in playground or can look through the other pages on the site for examples. Click on the “Sitemap” button at the bottom of every page to see what else is on the site.

<note tip>Some tips:

• only one person can edit a wiki page at a time
  • don't forget to save your changes when you're done so someone else can make their changes
• every single wiki edit is saved so don't worry about messing up the site - it's virtually impossible to lose data

</note>

Subscribe to the Grand Canyon pages and be notified of every change or a daily email summary of the changes for that day

• click the Manage Subscriptions button at the bottom of every page
• select the gc:* radio button in the Subscribe box
• select either the email on every change or digest email option
• click the Subscribe button

RSS, for those not familiar, is analogous to subscribing to a website. In your email client, but also potentially a web based RSS site (e.g. Google Reader), you enter in the URLs for the sites you'd like to keep tabs on. A special format of the site is available at this RSS address and your computer will check in with it every hour or few hours and let you know what, if anything changed.

A 3 minute intro video about RSS is at http://www.commoncraft.com/video/rss

You can subscribe to this feed URL http://www.cirka.net/wiki/feed.php?mode=recent&ns=gc which will keep track of all changes in the gc related pages.
