Instructions for JACoW.org Content Owners

Contact: Charlie Horak (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

Introduction

If you have agreed to be a content owner—thank you! If you're not sure yet, keep in mind that a lot of the information on the site doesn't change much, so the task might not be as dreadful as you think.

The initial review/update of pages is due by May 19, 2019 (start of IPAC19).

The main goal at this point is to make sure the information

  1. is accurate and relevant,
  2. is as complete and concise as possible, and
  3. is organized in a logical way.

Steps for Content Owners

To work in the wiki, you must first have an account. To request one and/or for instructions on working in the wiki, see Working in the JACoW.org Wiki.

1. Add your name (with a link to your email) and affiliation after the page title (see, e.g., the top of this page).

2. Review the content while keeping in mind the following questions:

  • Is it useful to the team or should it be deleted?
  • Is it accurate?
  • Is it well organized and easy to understand?
  • Should it be condensed and/or combined with other information?
  • Should it be expanded and/or combined with other information?
  • Is it located logically within the website as a whole?

3. Take one or more of the following actions when you've assessed the content:

  • If you can fix whatever needs to be fixed, do so. Also, check the format of the page to make sure it follows the JACoW webpage template as much as possible.
  • If you think someone else needs to review it, or that it should be moved/combined with other pages, send a note to the owner of that page(s), with a copy to the content manager .
  • If you think the page needs improvement but you are not sure what to do, or if the page needs to be deleted, contact the content manager .
  • When you've reviewed all your pages, inform the content manager .

4. After the initial review and any needed updates, check the content at least once per year to make sure it is still up to date and relevant.

Thank you! And may the light of a thousand suns illuminate your way.
