# **This is the new home of SANlab's wiki!** ------------------------------- The move to OSF is a good thing, 1. because it's a viable long-term home for the wiki, unlike the changing viability of various UO wiki resources. 2. because we'll be able to administer it ourselves, instead of relying on UO's IT staff. This means that we can manage permissions, etc. ourselves. This will take a little getting used to 1. because OSF's wiki system uses markdown. Yep, we have to learn markdown. What's markdown? A plain-text editing syntax. Google it. [one markdown resource][1] <br> [other markdown resource][2] <br> [OSF's wiki guide][3] 2. because some of OSF's setup is not intuitive. It can take a few spins around the block to wrap your mind around it. Is this wiki format the absolute best, easiest to use, most elegant tool out there? Maybe, maybe not. But it's free, reliable, accessible, and the OSF is legit -- much more so than using some corporation's free tool that may or may not be around in a year. So we're going to use it. [Here's][4] OSF's guide to using their wiki format. ### Basic wiki structure #### Project SANlab has a profile on OSF called Social and Affective Neuroscience Lab. The wiki is **a project** under this profile. OSF's wikis can only be associated with specific projects, so we have a project called *SANlab wiki* which then has associated wiki functionality. #### Components Projects can have components. I've made a component for the pages which contain content we need to keep private - things like account passwords under the SANlab wiki project. **Please put any content that needs to be kept private there**. We plan on making everything else on this wiki public. ### Giving people access Many SANlabbers have already been added to the project as contributors with administrator permissions. Those of you who do not yet have access, please ask a buddy to add you, or email Lisa at lmay@uoregon.edu to request access. An OSF profile is not required for wiki access, but you're going to keep all kinds of preregistered data up here anyways, right? Might as well go ahead and make a profile now. ### How to give people access 1. open the SANlab wiki project. 2. Click on Contributors in the menu bar. 3. Click on the green + 'add' button next to Contributors 4. find the person you want to add. If they don't already have an OSF profile, enter their email and OSF will invite them via email. 5. modify their permissions as needed -- right now, I think it's fine for everyone to have admin privileges. 6. It'll ask you if you want to add them as contributors to components. Sure. Go for it. 7. Click 'save changes' ##### **Remember, OSF's an awesome resource! Since you're here and have made it this far, it might be a nice time to go poke around and see what all is offered -- free data hosting, unique permanent URLs, integration with a wide variety of other tools (GitHub, Google Drive, etc.)...** [1]: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ [2]: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet [3]: http://help.osf.io/m/collaborating/l/524109-use-the-wiki [4]: http://help.osf.io/m/collaborating/l/524109-use-the-wiki
