SDG Wiki Objectives and Organization
Wiki Objectives
This site has three distinct objectives:
- Provide resources and support for all agent- and individual-based modelers, regardless of their scientific domain and software platform
- Distribute and support the Swarm platform for agent-based modeling
- Provide a home for the Swarm Development Group.
Organization of the main page
This page has five sections. The overall format is designed to let users easily see (a) major news items without having to link through to other pages, while also (b) the full range of content available on the site. Therefore, the page has a left-hand column of news, and three very concise boxes---one for each of the wiki's three objectives---in the right column. A help box is at the bottom.
News
- The News box contains user-contributed news items of general interest to agent-based modelers and Swarm users.
- Appropriate items include major announcements concerning Swarm or other platforms, SwarmFest and other conferences, changes to the wiki, new publications of widespread interest, etc.
- News items are labeled with the date they were posted and are eventually moved to an archive. This label is added via the "Your signature plus timestamp" button on the Wiki editor (which adds "--SFRailsback 19:11, 16 Jan 2006 (EST)" at the end of an item).
- Contributors are encouraged to include relevant links to other sites.
