Brief Initial Description

This CEDAR Database workshop will include demonstrations on how to edit pages on a wiki. All the CEDAR community and workshop wiki pages are editable by participants at annual CEDAR workshops, by CEDAR Database users, and by anyone else who wants a legitimate webname. This highlights our transition from static web pages at http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu to our wiki web pages at http://cedarweb.hao.ucar.edu/wiki. We will first demonstrate various ways to edit pages and upload materials on the community and workshop sites, and then show how to access the CEDAR Database. All CEDAR Database users who have signed an access form have a login name that allows them to access the CEDAR Database through the Virtual Solar-Terrestrial Observatory (VSTO) portal that is linked to the wiki site. Other wiki users must sign an access form with [[Data Services:Rules of the Road|'Rules of the Road']] to obtain CEDAR Database access. After the short demonstrations, participants will be given plenty of time to try their own editing of community and workshop wiki pages, as well as access to the CEDAR Database.
