What : Wiki Who : Ben Scott Where: Room 301, Morse Hall, UNH, Durham, NH Day : Mon 8 May 2006 Time : 7:00 PM - 9ish
For the May meeting of SLUG (NH Seacoast Linux User Group), Ben Scott will be talking about Wiki. He will cover a bit of history, basic usage, talk about a few different popular Wiki software packages, and show how one can use Wiki to edit both the GNHLUG (TWiki) and Wikipedia (MediaWiki) web sites. What is Wiki? Wiki is best described as "Quick, easy, and open collaboration using the web". It lets anyone edit web pages using plain text with minimal markup. You can generally just type in text the way you want it to look, and the Wiki software makes it happen. Wiki is the technology behind Wikipedia, one of the busiest web sites in the world. Ben Scott is a local Linux enthusiast, activist, and LUG pundit. He has somehow become one of the maintainers of GNHLUG's web site and Wiki, although he isn't quite sure how that happened. His day job is IT Manager and general-purpose geek for a small manufacturing company, where he likes his Linux servers because they require the least attention.
