| − | '''Welcome to the Baker Institute's McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation!'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | This page will get you - our newest team member - started on setting up your own account on the Wiki and navigating its content management prowess.
| |

| |
| − | ===User Account===
| |
| − | *[[Special:CreateAccount | Create a new acccount]]
| |

| − | ===User Page===
| |
| − | Every McNair staff maintains his own personal wikipage, detailing administrative information and professional/academic background, alongside a short autobiography.
| |

| |
| − | Refer to [[Dylan_Dickens | Dylan's Wikipage]] for inspiration. Or refer to the comprehensive [[Categories:McNair_Staff | staff list]].

| |
| − | Create your own Wikipage by going to [[Form:McNair_Staff]] and filing out the form. On the first page of the form '''use your Full Name with spaces''' (like Ed Egan), not your username. Fill out the fields. For the image, upload one (see "Upload file" in the left Wiki sidebar) and just put the name of the file in the box (e.g. YourPic.jpg). Finally go to your user page (click your username at the top of the page), edit that page and include the following line:
| |
| − | <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Full Name]]</nowiki>
| |
| − |

| − | ===Working with the Wiki===
| |
| − | At McNair, the Wiki is both home to developed content in the form of an [[Current_Entrepreneurship_and_Innovation_Policies_(Wiki_Page) | independent public Wikipage]], and developing content that will serve a academic paper, issue brief or [[Business_Dynamism_in_High_Tech_(Blog_Post) | blog post]] in the future. It is the research team's main tool for knwoledge sharing, pooling resources, writing and peer-editing.
