From Teaching Open Source

This page provides help with understanding Teaching Open Source, as well as help for contributors to this wiki.

[edit] Help me understand Teaching Open Source

1. Start with the page About_TeachingOpenSource.org
   • Note the resources on that page: mailing list, IRC channel (#tos on irc.freenode.net), and Planet blog aggregator.

[edit] Help me contribute to the TOS wiki

1. We rely upon the conventions of the MediaWiki foundation to set the standards and syntax on how to edit a wiki. This reference card image is useful, too.
2. Then we build on top of that by noting exceptions to the MediaWiki rules. Ideally, exceptions have a good reason.
   • The TOS wiki is using a set of additional conventions that were developed by the Fedora Project: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Editing
3. If you are going to be creating one or more new pages, you want to understand the best way to name pages for this wiki, which is covered on Help:Page naming.
