AI Nugget Wiki Editing Hints
08/10/12 15:44 Filed in: 480
There are different editing modes for the Wiki we’re using as AI Nugget repository. If you go to your entry through the list at http://kurfess.wikia.com/wiki/AI_%26_HCI_Presentation_and_Project_Wiki, you’ll see an “Edit with Form” button, and a downward triangle next to it, which takes you to the editing pane, where you can use a tab to toggle between “Source” and “Visual” mode. That triangle also lets you go back to previous versions (“History”), and do things like renaming and deleting entries.
Here are a few observations:

Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes. Simply click on what you want to use and it will appear in the edit box above.

Here are a few observations:
- “Edit with Forms:” Best if you need to make minor changes, such as your presentation title or date. If you’re editing the “Free Text” box, you can use the typical Wiki shortcuts (see also below).
- “Source:” Wiki editing mode; clicking on the “more / +” button in the editing toolbar brings up an overview of the common Wiki shortcuts; I’ve copied them at the bottom of this note). You may need to use this mode if your entry somehow got messed up.
- “Visual:” Allows the use of a toolbar for formatting functions, instead of the Wiki shortcuts. However, do not delete the green blob at the very beginning! It contains the field values for your entry, and if you delete it, your entry won’t appear in the list of presentations. To fix that, you can use the browser’s back button to o to the formatted version of your entry, and from the triangle next to the “Edit” button select “History”. There you can go back to a prior version, and recover the lost field entries.

AI Nugget Presentation Material
04/10/12 11:14 Filed in: 480
If you have problems uploading or are reluctant to make your content (e.g. presentation slides) available through Semantic Media Wiki at http://kurfess.wikia.com/wiki/AI_%26_HCI_Presentation_and_Project_Wiki, you can also post material on the PolyLearn “AI Nugget Forum” now. It is under “Course Material and Use of PolyLearn.”
Project TRAC Wikis Available
20/09/12 14:34 Filed in: 480
Our sysadmins created a number of TRAC wikis for us, to be used for the team projects. I want you to use them mostly for the project documentation, but you can also use their SVN functionality as a code repository. Once we assign the team numbers, I’ll add one team member to the wiki. This person then can add the rest of the team. If you want to, send me an email with whoever wants to be the first team member, and I’ll add that person.
My strong preference is for all teams to use the TRAC Wiki, at least for the documentation. This is mainly for two reasons: Persistence (documents on your personal Cal Poly Web page, for example, will disappear when you graduate), and consistency, which makes it easier for me to find a particular piece of documentation. If you have a good argument for using something else, I’m open to it, but please discuss it with me first.
For each team wiki, I've created a group "Members" with SVN_READ, SVN_WRITE and TRAC_ADMIN privileges.
To add your team members to the wiki, do the following:
When you create new pages in your wiki, you can select templates from a pull-down menu. Those templates are intended for my courses with team projects, and they contain information on what to put in the respective pages.
If you want to exercise tighter controls, you can also create different groups with restricted privileges, and assign them to those groups.
To access the SVN repository of the TRAC Wiki, add /svn either before or after the name of your wiki in the URL. So for team 11, this would be
https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/svn/CSC-480-F12-11/ or
https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/CSC-480-F12-11/svn/
See more information at https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/labs/wiki/WikiGettingStarted, the “Repository Browser” entry of the “Help/Guide” tab on your Wiki(https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/CSC-480-F12-11/wiki/TracBrowser), or http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSubversion for the technical details.

To add your team members to the wiki, do the following:
- go to the Wiki
- login with your CSC login information (login name, password)
- go the the "Admin" page by clicking on the "Admin" tab , and then "Permissions" in the list on the left.
- enter their login names one by one in the "Add Subject to Group" area to add them to the "Members" group

AI Nuggets Presentations - Web Page Updated
19/09/12 13:50 Filed in: 480
I’ve updated the AI Nugget page with the information below, to make it easier to find the signup form and list of scheduled presentations.
If you have a topic for your AI Nugget presentation, you can sign up for it on the Semantic Media Wiki page at the AI KM KB Wiki. To create an entry for your presentation, go to the 480-F12 Nugget Creation Form. You can also view the presentations scheduled so far at
http://kurfess.wikia.com/wiki/480-F12_Nuggets_Page. At the moment, the page still contains some entries from the 481-W12 quarter. Once I figure out how to use the filter feature of the wiki, they won't be shown …
If you’re looking for topic ideas, try my collection of Web snippets in the AI Nuggets Evernote Notebook. You may also find some ideas in a related notebook, KM Nuggets, with an emphasis on knowledge management.
