Meeting Wiki The IETF 80 meeting wiki (Your Wiki) has been created for the attendees of IETF 80 meeting to exchange information. The wiki uses DokuWiki software and a users guide can be found at: http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki Your IETF 80 (Prague) wiki can be found here: https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/ietf80 and is also accessible from the Prague meeting page on the IETF website. Some headings have already created, but no real content exists yet. The two links to "soccer/football" and "bar BoFs" that exist under Events are there as examples of things you can create, but there is nothing there if you follow the links. The wiki can be viewed by anyone but can only be edited by registered meeting attendees. If you want to add information (a great restaurant you know of, an informal event (soccer game), etc.) you will have to log into the wiki. If you have already registered for the meeting, you have an account waiting for you. Your login name is the email address that you used to register for the meeting; your password is your full 10 digit confirmation number. Note: this wiki is not intended to replace the host website, nor any other official meeting related site. Instead, the intent is that some of the information currently shared on the XXattendees mailing list be captured online in one location, where it will be easy for members of the community to locate and add to it. Our hope is that your wiki makes a contribution to your meeting experience. Only 64 days until the Prague IETF! _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
