Hello, It looks like you are trying to propose best practices for the Open Knowledge Wiki and to set up community tutorials for using it. Might I suggest that you either copy Wikipedia resources or just send people to Wikipedia to learn norms for using a wiki? A big advantage of sending people to Wikipedia would be that there are actual people there ready to answer questions. Wikipedia and this wiki also use the same software and I expect Wikipedia is so influential that people will expect similar community norms here.
Wikipedia's own help pages would run to over 10,000 printed pages. Perhaps 10% of this information is popular. Most Wikipedians in help spaces are familiar with all of it. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Directory> To ask any question about Wikipedia and get a fast and friendly response from a human, go to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse> At The Wikipedia Adventure there is a self-guided tour and tutorial for Wikipedia. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure> There are not less than hundreds of thousands of hours put into Wikipedia's help spaces! Try to copy what you can or just send people there! yours, On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 4:22 AM, Michael Bauer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > recently we've started using the Open Knowledge Wiki more and more over at > the School of Data.
