The KnowledgeBase is under development and has been made viewable to the user communities to allow for content contributions and feedback. Please post your content in the appropriate section and/or feedback in the comments section located at the bottom of each page.
The success of any open-source project lies with the community contributing its collective energy, knowledge, enthusiasm, and effort. The KnowledgeBase is a resource developed and monitored by the user communities to benefit potential, new and existing DSpace or Fedora users. You do not need to be a developer or even an expert to contribute. If you have experience using DSpace or Fedora, know a lot about a particular feature/functionality and/or if you know how to communicate information effectively, we welcome your contribution. We are always looking for content contributors (people to willing to write/present/edit content) as well as content moderators (people who review and provide feedback to content contributors).
Content Contributors
The content in the KnowledgeBase is monitored by the user communities to help ensure it is either accurate or flagged as being out-of-date or erroneous. Because this is a community managed effort there is a possibility that something may be missed. If you see something out-of-date or erroneous, please either update the information or use the "Labels" or the "Comment" functionality at the bottom of the page indicate the information is "out of date" or "erroneous".
All content, like the rest of the DuraSpace wiki, is licensed under a a Creative Commons Atrribution-Share Alike 3.0 License and is created by members of the user communities for the benefit of other users. Anyone is free to share and remix the content, with the hope that any remix of the content will also be shared and appropriate attribution footnoted. All contributors are encouraged to include a author attribution footnote on content they create. Contributors are feel to include a hyperlink/s to their personal profile and/or their organizaiton's website.
Example author attribution footnote: "This content was contributed by John Smith from the University of Michigan and Betsy Jones from the University of Illinois"
Delivery Tools
The KnowledgeBase is designed to communicate information using a variety of modalities. Since not all people take in information in the same way, the intention is to offer a text based guide, short recorded screencasts, presentation slides as well as available webinar recordings. All of the content can be found in the KnowledgeBase wiki, integrated into the Table of Contents framework.
Text-based Content and Images
Text content and relevant images (screen shots, diagrams, etc.) are the foundation of the KnowledgeBase wiki. The KnoweldgeBase uses the Confluence "Documentation Theme" and has been customized to provide a unique look and feel. The information is organized based on a draft Table of Contents proposed by DuraSpace in consultation with community members. Community members should feel free to change/add topic items as they see necessary. Detailed guidelines/recommendations for creating text based content, including a template, can be found here.
Screencasts
Screencasts are available to provide users with a quick visual 'how to' reference. Screencast videos appear as embedded links through out the KnowledgeBase and are generally stored on Youtube.com. Detailed guidelines/recommendations for creating screencasts can be found here.
Presentation Slides
There are many useful conference presentations which take a deep dive on topics. While the usefulness of some presentations can be time sensitive, many have long term value to the community. Slides files appear as embedded links throughout the KnowledgeBase and are generally stored on Slideshare. Detailed guidelines/recommendations for posting slides can be found here.
Webinars
There are several useful recorded webinar presentations which provide an in-depth discussion on topics. Webinars appear as embedded links throughout the KnowledgeBase and are generally stored on Youtube.com. Detailed guidelines/recommendations for posting slides can be found here.

KnowledgeBase Structure and Navigation
The structure of each KnowledgeBases is created by placing pages as children of their respective topic page. You may propose new subjects by creating a blank page in the appropriate location, with a title, and following this template (TBD).
Using Labels
We are exploring ideas for using labels to mark the status of content, E.G. if it's considered current and complete, or needs amplification, or is missing (think the notes that appear on Wikipedia). We would also like to add additional labels to help with searching and navigating along various topical dimensions. We'd love to see suggestions, blah blah blah
Standard inclusions
There are several standard pages that you can include to indicate to readers the status of a given page. The current marker pages are: blah blah blah (obsolete, needs revision, etc) , and you include them using one of the following wikisyntax fragments: TBD
