Hello Blue Team!

Thanks for your help during this hackathon to really improve the organization and quality of OpenMRS documentation. As you know, we are launching a new wiki, Atlassian Confluence, which will help us be more organized.

What you need to know

  • You need to have a new OpenMRS ID to use Confluence. If you use JIRA, FishEye, or Crucible, it's the same ID. If you need to create one, just click "sign up" at the top of this page.

  • The old MediaWiki installation has been made "read-only" ... no new content will be created there.

  • All the old content has been exported, and then imported here into Confluence in the unnamed link space.

  • Do not create any new content in the MediaWiki Archive space. You can (a) move the pages into one of the other spaces, or (b) create a new page and copy the content from one or more pages into that new page.

What needs to be done

Essentially, we need to:

  • organize the information in the imported content,

  • move it into the right areas on the new wiki,

  • clean up the content, and

  • create new content where we don't have any. :-)

If you come across blank pages in the MediaWiki archive, it may be that someone incorrectly coded the page in MediaWiki. Before removing the page, first find the equivalent page on http://openmrs.org/ to make sure it's not one of those pages.

Using WebDAV to arrange Confluence pages

Using "Space Admin" to move pages around in the MediaWiki Archive space can be a bit slow. If you're an advanced user and want to try out using WebDAV to change the structure of page hierarchy, here's the URL you'll need to know in order to connect...

http://wiki.openmrs.org/plugins/servlet/confluence/default/

This isn't something you put in your web browser, though. Instead, you use a "WebDAV client" - both Windows and MacOS have one built-in.

For a Mac

  1. In Finder, hit Command-K (or pull down the Go menu and click "Connect to Server").

  2. In the dialog, paste the Confluence URL above and click "Connect".

  3. Login with your OpenMRS ID and password.

  4. Now you'll have a new "webdav" drive in Finder which you can drag and drop files to and from.

  5. To make sure you don't leave extra files floating around, follow the instructions here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301711

For Windows XP

  1. Double-click on the My Network Places icon on your Desktop or from your Start button.

  2. Click on "Add a Network Place" from the Network Tasks menu on the left side of the window and click Next.

  3. Select the "Choose Another Network Location" option and click Next.

  4. In the Internet or Network Address field, paste the Confluence URL above.

  5. Login with your OpenMRS ID and password.

  6. All set! An Explorer window will appear for you new connection to Confluence and a shortcut is now in My Network Places.
