Editing basics

Start editing
To start editing a MediaWiki page, click the Edit this page (or just edit) link at one of its edges. This brings you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the wikitext: the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage. If you just want to experiment, please do so in the sandbox, not here.
Type your changes
You can just type your text. However, also using basic wiki markup (described in the next section) to make links and do simple formatting adds to the value of your contribution.
Summarize your changes
Write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the legend.
Preview before saving
When you have finished, click Show preview to see how your changes will look -- before you make them permanent. Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click Save page and your changes will be immediately applied to the article.

Minor edits

A logged-in user can mark an edit as "minor". Minor edits are generally spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearrangement of text. Users may choose to hide minor edits when viewing Recent Changes.

Marking a significant change as a minor edit is considered bad Wikiquette. If you have accidentally marked an edit as minor, make a dummy edit, verify that the "[ ] This is a minor edit" check-box is unchecked, and explain in the edit summary that the previous edit was not minor.

Workshop Pre-Announcement

Pre-announcement: 2010 KM4Dev meeting in Colombia May 2010 - invitation to join organizing team

The KM4dev Core group has been discussing possibilities for 2010 KM4Dev meetings. While different locations have been explored in the context of funding opportunities, and interesting connected events, we have also discussed opportunities for making more out of the regional and linguistic diversity in the community.

Lucie Lamoureux summarized nicely that "KM4dev events come in all shapes and sizes (annual meetings, regional meetings, informal get-togethers, etc.) which is perfectly good, as long as the KM4dev domain/spirit/philosophy is respected. We encourage all models."

In this context I am very pleased to pre-announce in the name of the Core group the *2010 KM4Dev meeting that will take place in Cali, Colombia in the week of May, 24* in connection to a Latin America and Caribbean Knowledge Fair that will be organized by FAO, CGIAR and other partner organizations. More about the Knowledge Fair: http://ictkm.cgiar.org/2010/02/02/knowledge-share-fair-latin-america-and-caribbean-at-ciat-cali-colombia-25-27-may-2010/

While I invite all of you to bookmark those dates in your agenda in the hope that you will be able to attend physically or virtually, I would also like to invite those of you who are interested in being part of the organizing team of the KM4Dev Cali event to email me very soon so that we can start to develop an initial meeting concept. From the KM4Dev core group we have the pleasure to count already with the support of Ana Maria Ponce, Camilo Villa, and Bertha Camacho.

I am very much looking forward to hear from Latin America and Caribbean KM4Dev members and any interested folks. If you have questions or specific interest in the Share Fair please do not hesitate to contact me.
