Finding the PCSAR web site

start with browser that is not logged
pcsar.webhop.org
google for "Pincher Creek Search and Rescue"

First Page:

LCC class project, Jake Waiboer
first pages are for different audiences
- Emergency - if this is an emergency
- General Public - info on search and rescue
- Members - information for our members
- Tasking Agencies and other SAR groups - info for them
- Photo gallery - photos (old)
- Supporters - how to support
- wiki - viewer editable pages, largest part of content

Walk through static content

Emergency
Members

static vs. viewer editable pages

static -> ask Brett to change
user editable -> you can change
wiki - Hawaiian for "quick"
wikipedia
- quick side excursion to see in separate tab
- look up Pincher Creek
- make trivial edit
- an encyclopedia that everyone can contribute to
same software use for our website, different subject "All about PCSAR"

Getting to the wiki

wiki link
recognizing that you're on the wiki
- sunflower
other ways in, static pages lead to wiki - e.g. Calendar

What's on the wiki?

vast majority of our information
Special pages > statistics
250+ major pages
1,500+ files
- includes pictures, scanned records

- search
  - search for rope rescue
  - compare search for quad
- following links from the main page
  - Where would you find information about our current jacket purchase?
  - follow link to information on jackets

editing

determine that Jacket information is dated
What should it say?
walk through making changes
- edit tab at top edits page
show how to confirm edit when not logged in
spam bots try to automatically add spam to our web site. They're not smart enough to figure out this question.

history

history tab
see who made what changes
undo changes
this mechanism is effective no malicious changes in 8 years (aside from spam)

Creating page

editing a section using "edit" on right
- how the horizontal section line is confusing - edits section below the line
page names go in double square brackets
red links to pages that don't exist yet
