Blog:The Warrior Blog/Hello World!

Hello everyone,

This is the first post of The Warrior Blog, the place where any news about The Warrior Wiki will be posted.

The Warrior Wiki is the wiki for all things related to UW history. Here you'll find information about The Bombshelter, The Tool, Alumni Lane and everything in-between. And in case we don't have the content, you can add it by logging in using your UWID.

Updates
Now that the wiki has been moved to our lovely CS Club server, we have been settling in and installing the extensions and templates that will allow our users to more easily contribute their knowledge. Check out the club, employee, and building templates, which make creating pages for these nouns easy.

As of today (August 14, 2012), the wiki has 136 pages about UW history, written by less than 10 users. This will change as more people get involved in the contributing process, and we're looking forward to tracking its progress. We're looking into ways of tracking and displaying statistics about the wiki, so in the future you'll be able to see contributions to the wiki over time.

What's next for The Warrior Wiki?
Over the next few weeks, we'll begin soliciting contributions from the various clubs and services on campus, as well as administration departments and other key players. We're also being featured in the frosh issue of Imprint this year, so all of the first years will get an early exposure to the site.

Looking to join in? Write some content about a topic you know. If you want to go a step beyond simply contributing content, we have lots of areas where we're looking for help. Besides the technical, research, and journalism aspects of the wiki, there are also areas to help with the funding, promotion, and social aspects of the project. If any of these areas sound interesting, shoot us a message at [mailto:thewarriorwiki@gmail.com thewarriorwiki@gmail.com].
