Welcome to the APRU-SCC Wiki

This is the most free and easy part of our collaborative workspace - with sensitive sections password protected from the outside world - and where we SCC Researchers can develop documents together, creating a virtual encyclopaedia of the SCC project, its research thrusts and related topics. Any questions on how to use it should be addressed to Jim Falk, co-Director, APRU-SCC project.

Please note that access to some sections of this wiki is restricted to CMAS registered members. Registered users can create new restricted sections as described here.

Here are some of the topics we are in the process of developing:

1. Announcements - announcements about SCC or SCC related events
2. SCC research areas - thinking through the research as a whole, and all the latest in the thrust area(s) you are concerned with. Please add material here (whether finalised or under development) for information and comment
3. Case study cities - information about work being carried out in the case study cities which have been chosen for comparative analysis within the research thrusts
4. SCC strategy - the evolving strategy of the CMAS program, beginning with the paper approved at the Jakarta meeting, but now open for evolution through improvements, or suggestions in the discussion section
5. SCC meetings - accounts and outcomes of our meetings - most recently the Jakarta meeting, discussion of them, additional materials as they come to hand, and action agreements on work to be done
6. Member Pages - a place for you to create your own page with additional information, notes, observations, or even things to do for CMAS (restricted to CMAS members)
7. University research teams in SCC - pages for the collaborating research teams (restricted to CMAS members)
8. Project proposals and opportunities - a place where we can describe opportunities and project proposals under development, solicit ideas and participants, and report successful steps towards full funding (restricted to SCC members)

Getting around the wiki is easy. It is just a website with links to pages, in which you can easily edit or start new pages. Each page name shows in green as a link on every other page where that word occurs in double square brackets. Click on the link and you go to the named page. Note that there is an Index button at the foot of the page. Click on that and you see all the linked page names. Note also that once you move from this Wiki home page, there is a display at the top which shows you where you have been. You can click on any of these to go back.

You can create topics and links, pages, and amend them (use the edit button at the top of this page, and the associated tool bar). One simple way to make a link is to put double square brackets around a word. That creates it immediately. You can read more about how to edit and format the wiki text.

This Wiki is our space for brainstorming, laying out, and coming to consensus on all the aspects of the CMAS program. Do not feel at all timid about trying it out. If you are at all uncertain, when you create topic pages, use the “playground” option.

For a start, click on Member Pages and create a page for yourself. Your basic profile is in the main website, but you can add any additional information you want to here. (Only registered CMAS members can read it.) Do that, and you are off and running!

All the best,

Jim Falk
