===== About the Wiki =====

From GáborKövesdán:

It is powered by Moinmoin. It has a markup language to format the pages, which seems to be a bit complicated at first. When you edit your page the GUI editor might be useful, but personally, I don't really like it, I think it is very inconvenient. You can check other wiki pages to find out the markup. The most important elements are:

<code>
== Heading ==
=== Smaller Heading ===

* Bulleting list item 1
* Bulleting list item 2
* Bulleting list item 3

''Italic text''
'''Bold text'''

||Table header1||Table header2||...||
||Table item||Table item||...||
</code>

Choose a user name in the following format: %%JohnDoe%%, %%WilliamSmith%%, ...
Such formed words are automatically transformed to links. On [[SummerOfCode2013]] your name should be presented as this kind of wiki name so that one can click and read your proposal and personal introduction if you want to include such. I don't think there would be anything else to say about the wiki.

===== IRC =====

It is recommended that all participants hang out in #freebsd-soc on the Libera.Chat network.

The wiki lists other channels used by the Project.  Some of the more active channels on the efnet network are:

<code>
#bsdcode
#bsdports
#bsddocs
</code>
