*The IoTWiki is a seperate project from Wikipedia. So W: and WP: shortcuts will not work. We dont as yet support Drafts and Portals. Also many templates of Wikipedia may not work. Be aware if you are borrowing content from there. You can raise a request if that template should be imported.

* Authors should create new pages under UserWiki!:{pagename} . This is a hack for lack of Draft. Once satisfied and consulted whomever you want you can move to main namespace. You should also create your user page to allow communication with other authors and editors.

* Our focus is Things, Devices and India. So we may not want to spend effort or wander about Big Data or Lifes Sciences or AR /VR just for curiosity.

* If you wish to share news, technology trends and ask questions the [http://www.IoTForIndia.org IoTForIndia Forums] may be the better place to go.

IoTWikiStyle

A simple list of style and differences from Wikipedia usage. Please allow some inconsistencey as we get going.

  • We use CamelCase ie: IoTStack rather then IoTstack. HWDevelopment rather then HWdevelopment
  • We try to spell IoT with a small O not IOT
  • We are not an encyclopedia. We are a knowledgebase and at the frontier of new stuff. So citations or previous printed content may be difficult and is a non issue. We do not want to be neutral but encourage explicit advise and state your Point of View(PoV) clearly. Reasoned debate helps everyone make informed decisions. Avoid personality, imputing motives and lets' be civil.
  • The IoTWiki is a seperate project from Wikipedia. So W: and WP: shortcuts will not work. We dont as yet support Drafts and Portals. Also many templates of Wikipedia may not work. Be aware if you are borrowing content from there. You can raise a request if that template should be imported.
  • Authors should create new pages under UserWiki!:{pagename} . This is a hack for lack of Draft. Once satisfied and consulted whomever you want you can move to main namespace. You should also create your user page to allow communication with other authors and editors.
  • Our focus is Things, Devices and India. So we may not want to spend effort or wander about Big Data or Lifes Sciences or AR /VR just for curiosity.
  • If you wish to share news, technology trends and ask questions the IoTForIndia Forums may be the better place to go.
