What is AuseAccess? AuseAccess is a wiki devoted to open access repositories in the Australasian region. If you are a return visitor, you may want to select a heading from the sidebar and then click on the Recent Changes link at the top right to see the change list for that section. If this is your first visit, read on.
What is a wiki? A wiki is a collaborative website that is edited and maintained by a community that grows around it. Anyone with edit permission can alter the pages, generally by adding new information but also by updating or correcting information. They can also add new pages. The information on the wiki grows as the community gets involved. Also since there is no bureaucracy (just open access and open editing) a wiki can be much more up to date than an official website which may take several months or up to a year to be updated.
Contribute! To join this community of contributors, send an email to me: Arthur.Sale@utas.edu.au, and explain where you fit into (or plan to fit into) the Australian open access community. I am happy to include people from countries in the neighbouring region. Contributors are of course expected to act responsibly.
Once you have an editing password, read the BasicEditing page first. You are provided with a Sandbox page in which you can play and experiment without harming anything important.
Anyone can read a wiki — it is a genuine website, and fulfils an important role in communicating what is happening in an active group.
This wiki runs the PmWiki software (see http://www.pmwiki.org/). It also uses the Wiki Publisher extension. You will see a PDF icon at the top right of the page — clicking this causes the page you are looking at to be converted to a print-friendly format. You can also set some options regarding this process. All this software is free and open source. The site is hosted by the University of Tasmania.
Please enjoy this wiki and I hope it is useful to you.
