• Jokes, pranks, or material that is offensive or inappropriate in any way are prohibited. The Wiki is a university web site intended for professionals, and is open to the general publish for viewing.
  • Never add inappropriate content to any part of the Wiki, including pages that you may think are hidden. 
  • If inappropriate content is identified while you are viewing a page, please immediately notify the shipboard (JOIDES Resolution) Lab Officer, David Houpt, Brad Julson, Gary Acton, or any of the Wiki administrators at:
    • ADD Additional ADDRESSES LINKING TO THE ABOVE CONTACTS
    • JR Lab Officer: jr_LO@ship.iodp.tamu.edu
    • Gary Acton: acton@iodp.tamu.edu
    • David Houpt: houpt@iodp.tamu.edu
    • Brad Julson: julson@iodp.tamu.edu 
• Account and account privileges and page permissions are controlled by the Wiki administrators, who may chose to freeze or remove an account or change access to pages as warranted. The WAC will meet to discuss specific cases should complaints or controversies arise.
• The documents on the ship are the primary version. Therefore, editing should be done primarily on the ship.
  • If editing is to be done from shore on specific pages, the individual doing the editing
    • should either be given direct access to the ship documents or 
    • should notify shipboard personnel that specific pages will be revised on shore (offline) and sent to the ship as soon as they are completed.

• Edited documents are immediately available for use on the ship. Thus, ensure that when you are done editing, the resulting document is in a state that is ready for viewing.

  • If not, revert back to the previous version of the document or seek assistance from other experienced Confluence users if you are having difficulties.

Wiki Requirements

• The primary version of the Wiki will be on the ship, where it must run remotely because internet connectivity is poor between ship and shore and many Wiki documents, particularly images and movies, are large.

• A relatively up-to-date copy of the Wiki will be accessible to the general public via a shorebased server or cloud service, which will be separate from the IT's Confluence license on Banff.
  • After the end of each cruise, a copy of the current Wiki will be exported from the ship and imported into the shore version of the Wiki.
• A sufficient number of active accounts must be available to allow IODP staff, Lab Working Group (LWG) members, and approved external scientists to edit Wiki pages.
  • Probably around 100 ± 50.
