MSC Mark Simmonds (Co-op Culture) Public Seen by 39

A thread to post information about similar projects, ancillary to what we are doing and from which we might learn. Obviously, exactly what we are actually doing is still fluid, but hopefully will become clearer.

I was just about to ask you if we could easily do that.

Wiki MVP1

Purpose

To provide a dynamic and up to date crowd-sourced central
resource for documents, links, providers, research, funding
related to co-operative development

  • Public facing

  • P6 members can edit and create content

  • Non-members can suggest content

At the very least it would provide an easy way for me to refer to
the many resources I am continually referencing.

if you don't want to re-invent the wheel we have this under used wiki that can be used for anything. https://wiki.uk.coop/wiki/Main_Page

Cheers John. I've made a start on a new wheel, but will take look.

It could also drive interest to P6

Probably best that there is an option to be a member of the Wiki without being a subscribing P6 member.

I'm happy to start populating a Wiki

If you log in at https://platform6.coop/user you should now have access to create wiki pages. Start at https://platform6.coop/wiki/platform-6-wiki
Still some niceties to add in there in terms of user interface, but it lookd broadly functional. Also seems to be running a bit slow, for me at least, so I may need to beef things up and/or tweak some config

Mark Simmonds (Co-op Culture) Sun 8 Jul 2018 12:20PM

Cheers Graham. Can log in OK. Probably worth a chat before I
start creating. I'd like to make it open to non-members too once
it has some content.

No worries. Just start writing. That's the hard bit. All else is fixable.

I'll need to know how to upload files @graham2

Graham Sun 8 Jul 2018 2:42PM

I've added a file attachment/upload field to the wiki page creation/edit form. You should be able to upload files of the specified types and max size. Once uploaded the page will display the url of the uploaded file, which you can then choose to embed in your text as a hyperlink.

I'll probably add a simple WYSIWYG editing toolbar in due course to the body field to make life a bit easier for formatting and links.
