About the CSC wiki

Fair Question Asked: What is the purpose of this wiki? What is it supposed to accomplish?

Here is my (Oldham's) initial, off the cuff answer.

• Be pragmatically useful
  • Lots of us ask the same questions and give the same answers repeatedly. How do I...? This wiki has the potential to let us collect & disseminate community knowledge. See Student_HowTOs
  • Don't forget
    • you can request a new HowTo on the discussion page of the Student__HowTOs
    • The How To does not have to be Centre domain specific
  • Help those of us who have not otherwise participated in a wiki develop a comfort level with doing so
• Help us build community within the program. We're small and sometimes it is hard to build connections. This effort gives us another avenue to estanblish connections. For example, but by no means just...
  • Give an individual who is doing something cool a way to share that with the community
  • Provide a mechanism for those who graduate to continue contributing to the life of the program
  • Help us get to know who we are by having a discussion on common ground
  • Let people find out more about is by lurking about and maybe someday joining us
