=Updating Open Atrium=
'''Notice:'''
'''''Updating individual modules within the Open Atrium distribution is not recommended.''' Open Atrium is a complex distribution of over 200 modules, and updating a single module could cause issues in your site. Leave the headache of updating individual modules up to the Open Atrium maintainers, and update your site to the latest versions of Open Atrium when they become available.''

Jl admin wk: /* Some tools */

===Some tools===
To manage the amount of information on the web I started using [http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/faq.html Google Notebook] (unfortunately now phased out). Eventually, I moved to [http://evernote.com Evernote], [http://wunderlist.com Wunderlist] and many other tools online that have help me to organize those old solutions to problems that once I knew and didn't have to use them until ... well until I needed them.

===Information resources===
A dictionary, a reference book, an encyclopedia are traditionally '''information resources where we found answers to old problems and questions'''. These days when we have a problem we go to the internet and find solutions in blogs, forums, sites specialized in giving answers and, of course, in Wikipedia!

===Two heads are better than one===
Apart from having tons of information available at the typing of our fingers (and an internet connection!) we have all together unleashed the '''power of collaboration'''. If "Two heads are better than one" imagine what million heads can do ... Well, the caveat is that it sometimes feels like a mess =)

===''So then why? ... why another site?''===
Well, simply put, because:

*'''We all need one place where to ''keep and quickly find those answers'' to recurrent problems'''
*'''Others may need the same answers and perhaps also a place where to put and ''share'' their own'''

*{{note|1|1}}'''[[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]/[[Linux]]/[[Mac OS X|Mac]]''' - Supported operating systems for thick client (native binary application), which provide background data transmission and setting services.
*{{note|2|2}}'''Encryption''' - Data stored by the service is encrypted. ([[Transport Layer Security|Transport security]] is also assumed)
*{{note|3|3}} Payment method
**'''L''' - Pay per computer. Additional fee for storage over a threshold.
**'''U''' - Pay per computer. Storage per computer is unlimited.
**'''M''' - Pay per unit of storage, but unlimited computers may share that storage.
**'''B''' - Bandwidth capping or limits are used on accounts.
*{{note|4|4}}'''Net drive''' - [[Network drive]] on file server supports some protocols ([[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]], [[Server Message Block|SMB]], [[Network-attached storage|NAS]],...)
*{{note|5|5}}'''P2P''' storage - data spread over many computers based on [[Peer-to-peer]] net advantages

*{{note|11|11}} Whether the desktop client (if available) can detect and upload changes without scanning all files
*{{note|12|12}} Many backup services offer a limited free plan, often for personal use. Often it is possible to increase the free backup limit through coupons, referrals, or other means that are not included in this column. This column also does not include free trials that are only available for a limited period of time.
*{{note|13|13}} '''External hard drive support''' - Can refer to an alternate backup destination or whether the service can back up external drives.
*{{note|14|14}} Hybrid Online Backup works by storing data to local disk so that the backup can be captured at high speed, and then either the backup software or a D2D2C (Disk to Disk to Cloud) appliance encrypts and transmits data to a service provider. Recent backups are retained locally, to speed data recovery operations.

===Comments===

===Have you found yourself in the following situation?===
''Hey, not this problem again! ... '''but wait, how was that I solved the same problem last time?'''''

Well, the above has happened to me so many times (and I have lost so many post-it notes and notebooks) that I ended asking for the help of technology.

===Some tools===
I started using [http://www.google.com/googlenotebook/faq.html Google Notebook] (unfortunately now phased out) and eventually moved to [http://evernote.com Evernote], [http://wunderlist.com Wunderlist] and many other tools online that have help me to organize those old solutions to problems that once I knew and didn't have to use them until ... well until I needed them.

===Information resources===
A dictionary, a reference book, an encyclopedia are traditionally '''information resources where we found answers to old problems and questions'''. These days when we have a problem we go to the internet and find solutions in blogs, forums, sites specialized in giving answers and, of course, in Wikipedia!

===Two heads are better than one===
Apart from having tons of information available at the typing of our fingers (and an internet connection!) we have all together unleashed the '''power of collaboration'''. If "Two heads are better than one" imagine what million heads can do ... Well, the caveat is that it sometimes feels like a mess =)

===''So then why? ... why another site?''===
Well, simply put, because:

*'''I need one place where to ''keep and quickly find those answers'' to recurrent problems'''
*'''You may need the same answers and perhaps also a place where to put and ''share'' your own'''

----

=Welcome to this wiki!=
So welcome to this wiki! I know this is an ambitious project and even perhaps a technical challenge for some as you have to learn the "formatting language" to write a wiki page in this site (but believe me, it's not rocket science as you can see [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting here)].

But everything starts with the first steps ... and one of these is to guide ourselves with some basic...

=Recommendations=

Those are meant to keep this site true to its objective of '''easy access to answers'''. Their spirit is guided by the keyword ''simplicity'' and your criteria asking and answering yourself the following question:

<center>'''Can I easily remember or find on the web the answer to my question if I need it again?'''</center>

'''If you answer NO then this site is where your Question and Answer (Q&A) entry is very much welcome!'''

*'''Keep in mind that this is not a forum where to ask questions for others to answer.''' It's us who contribute answers difficult to find

*'''Respect and contribute to the general structure of the site.''' Build the structure from general subjects to the specific ones

*'''Keep your Q&As entries simple, preferably in step-by-step format.''' Use external links to reference to larger amounts of information'''

By the way, feel free to comment or discuss everything I have said above in [[Talk:Main_Page | the discussion page]].
----

'''So that's all folks for now, welcome once again and happy writing and easy finding of answers to your common questions!'''

You can start the adventure going to the
<center>[[Table of Contents]]</center>

and if needed you can resource to our [[Help:Contents|Help page]]

* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ]
* [http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce MediaWiki release mailing list]

Additionally, consult the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide] for more information on using the wiki software.

== Creating a page ==

ADVICE:
*'''It is recommended that you save your editing document from time to time.'''
*If you want to avoid that others receive an email because of unfinished versions just tick the "This is a minor edit" option, of course assuming that the user has chosen not to receive alerts when minor edits occur. =)

=== Creating a new page ===
This is easy and it can be done in two ways:

* When editing a page, use the Internal link format for the new word/title/subject, etc. that will have its own page. For example, we can create here an Internal link to a page explaining how to export email lists by typing '''<nowiki>[[How to export email lists]]</nowiki>''' giving as a result an empty page [[How to export email lists]]. You know that the page is empty because the font is red

You can choose different names for the link to the page. For example, in the case above this will be '''<nowiki>[[How to export email lists| Click here to learn how to export email lists]]</nowiki>'''. In this way the reader will see a link reading "Click here to learn how to export email lists".

or alternatively

* In the address of the [[Main_Page|main page]] just change Main_Page to the title/name of the new page. For example, to create the page ''How to export email lists'' just edit in the address bar <pre>http://wiki.josephluis.com/index.php?title=Main_Page</pre> to <pre>http://wiki.josephluis.com/index.php?title=How to export email lists</pre>

'''IMPORTANT: After creating a page please edit the [[Table of Contents]] to add a link to the new page.''' 

==='''How can I hide the table of contents?''' (taken from the FAQ)===

'''The table of contents (TOC) is automatically shown once there are four or more headings in the article.''' The are multiple ways to hide it.

'''For one page'''

Place the magic word <tt>'''<nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki>'''</tt> into the page markup.

'''For all pages'''

Edit the CSS files; locate the style for the table of contents and add display: none; to the definition.

'''Per user'''

Users can also opt to have the table of contents hidden. This is a user preference, set in Special:Preferences.

== Keeping track of changes ==
To keep track of changes in a page you have to add it to your [[Special:Watchlist|Watchlist]].

If you want to be emailed when changes occur, select the appropriate options on your [[Special:Preferences|Preferences:User Profile:Email]]

The [[Special:Specialpages|Special pages]] in the Toolbox in the left side bar contains many tools-pages with information about the development of the wiki and logs of what is happening on it.

== Roll back to previous edits ==

Click the history tab and compare versions. Choose the one you want to roll back to (click in the link that shows the date) and click edit.
