Welcome to the CIM wiki!
This wiki is for sharing information about the CIM. We're also using it to form a CIM Bibliography being assembled by the IEEE task force on CIM modeling.
General Notes
A few comments for those who visit during our startup phase, to give you some context.
- Currently, the URL is "hidden" in that no link exists to it from other CIMug pages. However it can be edited by anyone with a corporate or individual UCAIug membership.
- Lee King contemplated having a skeleton structure in place by the CIMug meeting in Redmond in December. We didn't quite get there.
- We discussed collaboration tools at the Redmond conference. Randy Rhodes' notes are here.
- Randy fixed a small problem with text size - this was caused by an incorrect CSS theme file setting. Our contractor, B&R Solutions, is available to help with any problem like this.
- Randy added in some content using bullets, a simple table, and numbered items on this page. In many ways a wiki page is a lot like a Word document. No wiki markup language is required - the editing icons are a lot like other Microsoft applications. So formatting it that way can help people get comfortable with contributing. We want to keep content approachable - but also somewhat unfinished, to draw people in.

Begin to build an outline of content.
(That can be on this page or another. Wikis are malleable.) |

| 2 |
Seed it with content.
(That's another way to get started. See Wikipatterns for more on this technique.) |

Important Tips
- Setting an alert for a wiki is slightly different than other Sharepoint features. A Sharepoint wiki is essentially a list of items (.aspx files, actually) in a document library. So setting an Alert is the same as any other document library. To make easier, I created a link: Click Here to Set Alerts.
- If you are new to wikis, especially in Sharepoint, see How To Use This Wiki Library. We will add other tips and FAQs before long.
- If you create a new page, at the bottom add this: Return to Home. (Edit this page to see how we did that, it's pretty simple. That gives people a simple navigation aid.)
