Question for any MediaWiki peeps: How do I make the hierarchy links show up on the page I've linked here? I.e., this is a sub-page of "Assignments." The hierarchy shows up on sub-pages of my user page, but not here. Mark made me an admin of the wiki, so I can fix it if I know how. thanks! - Steve Koch

BTW: Mark rocks for building S30 and the other sites, AND for being so helpful by providing this wiki! Thank you!!! - Steve Koch

I decided to use S30 instead of OWW because I feel like (A) it's more likely to be useful for the students, (B) it seems to be growing instead of dying, and (C) Mark is super-energetic and helpful :) - Steve Koch

Just curious -- how did you decide to use Mendeley? I'm still giving my students options (we're using an e-learning wiki in class this semester, too -- my first time using it. I don't like the program much!). - Mickey Schafer

Mickey, what do you not like? - Mr. Gunn

Hi, Mr. Gunn -- it isn't a question of not liking! I was just curious from a teaching standpoint why Steve designated one particular program. The "not like" comment in my question to Steve was about the Sakai wiki. - Mickey Schafer

Mickey -- I like Mendeley and specifically, I want to share PDFs with all of the students in the class. Not aware of software that does it better, if at all. I figure if nothing else this semester, if they get accustomed to a few web2.0 things for science, they will be better off. Plus, I plan to have them do all work online and thus make contributions along the way (including having them rate and comment on PLoS articles). - Steve Koch

Hey Steve, just noticed this. Thanks for the kind words. Just to put it out there that anyone who wants to host anything scientific based that takes advantage of online tools, such as wikis, is free to use http://s30.com - Just let me know what you want and I'll set it up. Ps. Steve, did you sort your problem? - science3point0

Hi Mark -- Haven't solved problem yet but am very ignorant about it all. I notice, too that when I put a subpage link (e.g., "[[/subpage]]" on a page in the main namespace, it doesn't create the link correctly. If I do this in the User: namespace it does work. That's about all I know, though. - Steve Koch

As I think I noted above, I think it could be useful for my students to use S30 as our platform. I was thinking that working out bugs over the semester would be helpful for possibly transferring lab wiki later. There is always worry that OWW will go away. However, since I don't really know what I'm doing, maybe this isn't a good idea to use S30 at this point? As of now, OWW works great and there are a ton of features installed that are helpful. What do you think? Regardless of which wiki you think I should use, I will have the students create accounts on S30 (and PLoS, Mendeley, etc.) - Steve Koch

Hi STeve, if you just send me a list of things you want sorted, (probably best to DM me through S30) I can get them all sorted and run you through each of the steps so you learn how to do it all? Thanks :) - science3point0
