Difference between revisions of "GCDAMP WIKI Overview Questions"

How do you upload files or suggest additions or changes to the WIKI?

1. Go to gcdamp.com
2. On the left tool bar click Upload File
3. Click Choose File
4. Navigate and select the file off your computer, add a Description (helps with the search function; something like "2015 Hopi Annual Monitoring Report"), Comments to Admin (Let us know how you where you want the information to be posted to; "Post to the Tribal Monitoring Report section on the Cultural Page." Also provide a link or reference as to where the information came from), Category (lets us know what page to post it to; "Cultural"), and Contributor (who to contact if we have questions).
5. And click Submit File

That then sends a notification to someone on the Wiki Admin staff and they then make those changes to the page you identified in “Category” and described in “Comments to Admin.”

Rules for posting to the WIKI?

• Do not post copyrighted material, photos, prints, etc.
• Include a citation or link from where you obtained materials or concepts.
• Be objective in your posts. Limit opinion, spin, and politics. Make sure to present both sides of the story.

Wiki stats

• Who will the WIKI Web-Site belong to? Currently the WIKI is in the infant stages, and the Colorado River Commission of Nevada is the current "Custodian". However, the CRC has set the site up with the ability to hand-off to others down the road. The CRC will transfer the site to another GCDAMP stakeholder if that is what is agreed upon by the TWG.
• What is the cost of having the WIKI option? Not much. The domain name and set-up was around $26. The hosting is about $250 for 2 years.
• What is the storage limit on this WIKI? Unlimited space. The provider is HostGator.com
• What back-up features does the host offer? HostGator backs up everyday. They also offer administrative assistance.
• Who will be able to add to the site? Anybody the group allows (following the upload and review procedure described above).
• Can we make this WIKI site internal for just GCDAMP people? Yes, if that is what the group decides to do. It will be easy to add a User-name and Password feature.
• Do I have to be a "Web-Master" to participate in the WIKI? No, there are some basic scripting skills needed, but once you get the hang of it, there is no stopping. (It is envisioned that "Help" pages will be made available for people to learn how to WIKI)
• Can I still participate in adding items to the WIKI even though I don't have time to learn how to WIKI? Yes, just click on "Upload File" in the toolbar to the left and include the idea, wording, documents, etc. and to what page you would like the information to be added and a wiki administrator will help get that information added to the site.

The Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act, passed into law in 1998 as part of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides safe harbour protection to "online service providers" for "online storage" in section 512(c). Section 512(c) applies to online service providers that store copyright infringing material. In addition to the two general requirements that online service providers comply with standard technical measures and remove repeat infringers, section 512(c) also requires that the online service providers: 1) do not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, 2) are not aware of the presence of infringing material or know any facts or circumstances that would make infringing material apparent, and 3) upon receiving notice from copyright owners or their agents, act expeditiously to remove the allegedly copyright infringing material.[1]
