Wiki for public documentation of CompREU projects

Overview

We would like to have a way to document projects occurring in the Computational Experiences for Undergraduates project. We have decided to create this repository, which has:

  • github pages: An automatically generated github page (see here ) that coverts the Readme.md file of this project to a a public web page at [http://djyaron.github.io/compreu/].

  • github wiki: A wiki that is part of the overall repository (see here).

The github page has a list of projects that link to the appropriate project page in the wiki. These links start with:

https://github.com/djyaron/compreu/wiki/

So a page with the name "prov" in the wiki, will be:

https://github.com/djyaron/compreu/wiki/prov

as an external link. Within a wiki page, you can link to other pages of the wiki by just starting at "wiki", e.g.

wiki/prov 

How To Edit a project page

You have two choices

  • Edit from within github (go to the repository, and click on wiki in the sidebar on the right)

  • Checkout the wiki using the following command

    git clone git@github.com:djyaron/compreu.wiki.git

Github uses markdown, a popular wiki format with many webpages and editors. I use MarkdownPad 2 on windows. You can also go to a site such as [http://dillinger.io/], which allows you to edit in one window and view the translated version in another window.

Contents of project page

We would like each page to have:

  • Short introduction of the goals of the project
  • List of resources being used, including
  • link to a mendeley folder of relevant references [http://www.mendeley.com/]
  • Link to any other relevant githup repos, including the private ones discussed in the next section
  • google drive or other filesystem where results are located

Using Github

See [wiki/githubAdvice.md] for a general overview of how we use github to manage code projects.

We will probably use a single private repo to handle all of the results people do not yet want to share publicly. We will insert instructions here once we figure out the details.
