== What is the wiki ==

A wiki a collaborative editing environment that all PS:One member's have access to.

We use it for

*  Votes/Vote proposals
*  Meeting Agendas/ Meeting Notes
*  Recording Policies
*  Hosting the Bylaws
*  Note Taking
*  Systems Documentation

== Wiki Usage Guides ==

* [[How_to_write_a_vote]]
* [[Wiki_Editing]]

== Extra Features ==

=== WikiBot ===

The [[user:wikibot]] makes [[Special:Contributions/Wikibot edits]] the wiki automatically, making simple cleanups and doing link verification.  It's running based of the Pywikibot software.

=== Sphinx Search ===

The default search in mediawiki does exact matching, but doesn't to lexicographical searches.  We have [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SphinxSearch Sphinx Search]  installed, along with indexing daemons that run hourly and nightly on the mediawiki server.

=== Visual Editor ===

The [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor Visual Editor]] Is a feature Media Wiki has been working on for a while, but still isn't perfect.  Most notably it breaks pretty hard on Equipment Pages.

We run a [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid parsoid daemon]] in order to process mediawiki content into a form the Visual Editor can work with.

== Technical ==

The wiki is running MediaWiki's wiki software, the same as WikiPedia, along with some 3rd party extensions.
