- The wiki is our face of open source engineering. That means that everyone from scientists and engineers to potential donors to your parents goes on it to see what we are up to. Every word you write must be spellchecked and professional.
- The wiki is used for communication between teams, the engineers in Honduras, and future members of the project.
- Please do not just put stuff up here to make it look like you've been doing extra work. It doesn't fool anyone and it just means that your midterm or final feedback will tell you to rewrite everything! This is a real database and we cannot have it bogged down with fluff. The wiki is a dynamic database. You should update the wiki, not just add to it, so if something is out of date you may delete it or fix it.
- The answers to most of your questions and uncertainties are probably already there. We have an in-depth wiki organization guide, photos, and there are always other pages to steal formatting code from.
- You can and should always ask the Team Leader or any returning member for help with the wiki if you have questions.
- The wiki is set up like a tree, there are important branches fanning outward from the AguaClara Home page and where you put new pages in the hierarchy is very important.
A Tour of the Wiki
Start the tour at the AguaClara Home page, it can be accessed by typing aguaclara.cee.cornell.edu and clicking "More Resources and Documentation".
- From the home page you can easily access the major branches of the project: Research, Design, and Outreach by clicking on Navigation Menu in the top left corner. Another important branch from the home page is Team Resources
- What is a child page? Each successive branch of the tree is a child page of the branch above it. Design Calendar is a child page of Design, for instance.
- How do you find
- Past research
- Go to the Research to see all of the teams that currently exist and have existed in the past. A typical research page is home AguaClara Home>research>Chemical Dose Controller
- Assignments AguaClara Home>Team Resources>Assignments
- Due dates are all on the syllabus
- the sandbox
- This one is trickier because you cannot navigate directly to it, you have to use the search field. The sandbox is not navigable because it is just a place to play--if you are not sure about how to do something, try the code in the sandbox first so you can test if it works without messing up your own wiki page.

The most important part of editing the wiki is using the Wiki Organization Guide home AguaClara Home>team resources>wiki organization guide. Here you can find directions for formatting assignments, figures, pictures, equations, etc.

All team members have to make sure their contact info is correct on our roster home AguaClara Home>team resources>team roster and alumni. Please fix it yourself if it is wrong.
