====== How to Use our Wiki ======

===== How to Create A New Wiki Page =====
    * Use a namespace (https://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces) and put the date.  The namespace can be see at the top corner of the page or the end of the url for the page.  When creating a new page for your notes, it should be of the following format:<code>
[[< namespace >: < Name of page >]]\\
</code>
    * You can also use a dot which specifies the current namespace. <code>
[[.: < Name of page >]]\\
</code>
    * For example, if one were to create the Dragonfruit Design team’s page, they would use the weatherbox namespace: “weatherbox”.  When creating their page, it would look like one of the following:<code>
[[weatherbox:Dragonfruit]]\\
[[.:Dragonfruit]]\\
</code>

=====How to Organize your Wiki Page=====
  * **At the top of your wiki page should be a brief description of your team**
  * **Include goals for the semester and long term goals**
  * **Include a block diagram of your system**
  * **Include a power budget and BOM (build of materials) if applicable**
  * **Include Resources**
    * Instructions of how to install software
    * Links to written instructions or videos tutorials
    * Data sheets

    * Order your notes in chronological order with the newest notes at the top
  * **Presentation slideshows**
    * Save a pdf version of your presentations and posters to the wiki
    * Presentation pdfs should be named <Team name>_<Presentation name>.pdf
      * For example, Firmware would name their PDR pdf as: Firmware_PDR.pdf

===== How to Post Meeting Notes =====
  * **Subteam meeting minutes should be added on your team name’s page**
     * [[..:weatherbox:start|Weatherbox Teams]]
        * Xbee team should post their notes on the Networking page
     * [[..:forecasting:start|Forecasting Team]]
     * [[..:wind_sensor:start|Wind Sensor Team]]

  * **Creating a new page for your notes**
    * Use a namespace (https://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces) and put the date.  The namespace can be see at the top corner of the page or the end of the url for the page.  When creating a new page for your notes, it should be of the following format:<code>
[[< namespace >: Meeting Minutes < Month Day, Year >]]\\
</code>
    * You can also use a dot which specifies the current namespace. <code>
[[.: Meeting Minutes < Month Day, Year >]]\\
</code>
    * For example, the namespace on the Dragonfruit Design team’s page is “weatherbox:dragonfruit”.  When creating a new page for your notes, it would look like one of the following:<code>
[[weatherbox:dragonfruit: Meeting Minutes September 9, 2015]]\\
[[.: Meeting Minutes September 9, 2015]]\\
</code>

    * Use bullet points for your notes
    * Make your notes readable and make sure you can understand them
      * Would I be able to understand this months from now if you need to reference something?
      * If someone new to the lab were looking at my notes, would they be able to understand them?
  * **Content of your Notes**
    * Include updates and your progress
    * Include issues
      * Document in your weekly notes how issues were resolved
