Weblog: Welcome
in Perl 6
|
|
This "who is doing what" and "who is interested in what" social-networking page is for anyone (including newbies and organizations) doing anything significant (including commercial) regarding Perl 6. Intructions about how to expand are at the end. Not all links lead to articles in this wiki. To get all of them click on the "People" tag on the right side or on this link.
This important section expanded enough to get its own page (Yea!): Perl 6 Donors, Sponsors, and Supporters.
The Language Design Team
Also known as "@Larry", and led by Larry Wall, our hero and leader, the inventor of Perl. We think he deserves a MacArthur prize.

Up: Workspace Tour - Table of Contents
Hi! This quick tour will help you get acquainted with Socialtext Workspace. It's easy to do. After you've read each page, just click on the blue underlined link at the bottom to go to the next page -- sort of like turning the page in a book.
A Socialtext Workspace is a way to work together on the web that's fast and fun.
It's a flexible way for you and your team to organize information.
Right now, the information you're looking at is a few paragraphs of text, like you could read in a newspaper or a book.
What else is here?

Back: How do I find my way around?
Here are some more advanced workspace navigation techniques. If you like, you can go back to the basic page, called How do I find my way around?
You can use categories to group pages that are related. Anyone can put a page into a category by editing the page and using the category controls. Then, you can find pages in a given category by clicking on the "Categories" link in the top menu.

You can also customize your navigation with the navigation sidebar. Click on "Settings" in the top menu, and you can add sidebar boxes that show you the pages you've been to recently, pages that have been recently changed, and your own set of favorite pages.

Can I change something?

Back: What's the funny punctuation?
Making links in Socialtext is very simple.
To add a link to a page in the workspace, first double-click to enter editing mode. Alternatively, click Edit This Page.

Write the name of the page you want to link to. Then, select the text you want to link. Click on in the toolbar.
If you make a link to a page that doesn't exist yet, your link will appear with a dotted underline. When you click on the link, the page will be created.
How do I make a new page?

How do I make a new page?
Up: Workspace Tour - Table of Contents
Back: What's the funny punctuation?
Click on New Page in the workspace header. You will see a new page to edit. Change the name of the page by editing the title in the field on top. Put the text of the page in the larger space below. Click Save.
You can also create a new page by making a link on an existing page. While editing, select the text to link and click on in the toolbar. You can also put the name of the page you wish to create in square brackets, like this: [Title of New Page].
After saving, the link will appear with a dashed underline, which means the link refers to page that does not exist. Whenever you click on a dashed link, you can create the missing page.

To practice, try making a new page with your name as a title using either method.
Congratulations! You know how to use a workspace
