How's it Work?

The wiki uses Confluence, a popular enterprise wiki application developed by Atlassian Software.
We are currently (spring 2009) running Confluence version 2.7.3
Confluence is segmented into wiki 'Spaces'. A space can be either world readable or restricted, with varying permission levels, to members of a given group (or set of groups). Each space has an administrator or administrative group associated with it.
Members of the admin group can control some elements of the look and feel of the space and can manage the users and user group(s) associated with that space.

For a member of the MIT Community, access to a restricted wiki space requires:

• a valid MIT certificate
  or
• to have logged in to the MIT Touchstone service.

AND

• membership in a Moira group or Stellar class list which has been granted access to the space
  or
  
• to have been granted individual access to the space

For a non-MIT person, access to a restricted wiki space requires:

• a MIT Touchstone Collaboration Account.

AND

• membership in the appropriate Moira/Confluence group
  or
• to have been granted individual access to the space

All users should also have cookies and javascript enabled in browser settings.

• membership is generally managed by the administrator of the space in question (see below)

To have a space created for your group:

A wiki space needs to be requested and set up centrally. You can request a wiki site using the Wiki Request Form

For Stellar-related class sites, access to the wiki space is linked to the Stellar faculty and student lists.
