Welcome to the Crisis Management process development Wiki.

This is the page you come to when you point your broswer to http://192.136.110.30:8080/cmwiki. For those of you who are new to Wikis, One Minute Wiki will give you a quick introduction to the concept and utility. You can also view Wiki Etiquette for additional useful techniques.

Here are some general instructions to help you effectively use the Information Technology Wiki.

• Bookmark the Wiki in your browser. (http://192.136.110.30:8080/itwiki/)

• Links to pages that have not yet been created have a question mark attached - click on the question mark to create that page. Then click on the 'Edit this page' link at the bottom to add content.

• To edit or add to a page, click on the 'Edit this page' link at the bottom and then add or change what you want using the coding conventions shown at the bottom of the editing window.

• Use the links on the page HowToUseWiki for instructions about how this program works, and more detailed information on how to edit and create pages.

• If you are unsure about your changes, use the preview button below the editing window to see what your input will look like.

• You can use the Sandbox page to test and play.

• Note that the Wiki uses a very simple mark-up language to tell it how to display information, much simpler than HTML. A mark-up language uses embedded commands, usually symbols, to tell the interpreting program how to display the information. Looking at information already entered into pages can give you a quick idea how to do it. The majority of commands you will use are shown at the bottom of the editing page for easy reference.

• The 'CM Mailing List' link in the left hand menu will allow you to send an email to the entire Crisis Management team. It's a good idea to do this if you have made substantial edits in the wiki.

• It's often better to make additions to a page at the top rather than the bottom. That way it's easier to see if something has been changed (rather than scrolling to the bottom of a long page). This is particularly useful for pages that report status or meeting minutes and things like that.

• The Wiki is a living document. It will be a great help to everyone if you date and initial additions or major changes. This doesn't mean that you need to annotate minor changes, fixing spelling or format, things like that, but things like new meeting minutes, status changes, activity reports, new ideas, etc. should be initialed and dated.
