Welcome[edit]

After you've been invited and have provided your email address, you should receive an email from  Coder Merlin™ . Please confirm that you are able to log on to the shell. You'll need to do that first and set a password before proceeding to the wiki.

The Shell[edit]

You'll need a shell account in order to set your login password. Your credentials for the shell account and the wiki are the same. If you are unfamiliar with using ssh please review Shell.

New Articles[edit]

Before authoring a new article, please review the following articles to understand the general writing style and layout:

General Rules[edit]

  • The wiki style guidelines must be observed. Follow the style guidelines at StandardMarkup
  • All images must be original and uploaded to the wiki OR obtained from WikiMedia Commons
  • Be sure to perform your updates on the wiki frequently (rather than in a separate editor), even if the article is incomplete. This will enable us to provide relevant feedback to you as you progress. It will also quickly train you in wiki markdown.
