This Web site is the original "Wiki Wiki", and is primarily for discussing software engineering, programming and related topics. Off Topic pages may not last very long.
For a very simple introduction , see Brief Intro -- or for other languages, International One Minute Wiki.
Navigation: mark with edit=page name(e.g: c2.com/cgi/wiki?edit=One Minute Wiki to edit this page) and hit Enter (or do whatever you do to go to a URL). Note that the page name must be a Wiki Word.
Either of these methods will bring up an editing page with the text "Describe page name here". Edit this as desired and save it.
Deletion Conventions:
To delete a page, replace its text with the word "delete".
If you create an experimental page, please delete it.
Any other page exists until someone else seconds the deletion.
Unseconded deletions can be undone by using the Edit Copy.
Seconded deletions can usually be undone by using the History Pages (c2.com 
)
Making Yourself Known: (we prefer you to use Real Names Please, rather than false online names)
Set up a User Name for yourself that will show up in Recent Changes.
Create your own Wiki Home Page.
Use a Wiki Signature when appropriate or if you would like to.
Security:
There is no security at all. Anyone could jump in and delete content. Some content might get restored, but don't fret about it; it's part of Why Wiki Works. See Why Nobody Deletes Wiki.
It's easy for someone to use somebody else's name. Please don't, and don't assume that signatures have any significance other than simple politeness.
Advice from Old-timers:
Please read Good Style and Wiki Editing Customs before editing or adding pages. Also read various pages to get the feel of Wiki before you start editing. Remember, Wiki Is Not Wikipedia.
Follow Wiki Social Norms if you want to be respected by other Wiki Zens.
Play nice, okay?
Advice for new members:
If you find a block of text in need of a clearer, simpler explanation -- and you have one -- supply it. (However, avoid changing signed content without permission. Signed content is text groupings with a name or initial after it.)
Simply go on and do not give up.
