Wiki Education Made Phenomenally Easy
Want to explain to someone (a grandmother like me, for instance?) the benefits of using a wiki? A great example of homegrown content was highlighted on the SAP internal wiki recently and I wanted to share here with the community. The video was produced by Lee and Sacha LeFever of Common Craft Show and explains brilliantly “in under 5 minutes” what the advantages of a wiki are.
Looking at this great content reminded me that our community has diverse talents (think Mario Herger and his video abilitites (very professional) or maybe a bit less staged but nevertheless very funny: Craig’s Rantings…: Geek Cooking Episode 1).
Getting Started
We need to have better, more creative, entertaining ways to take our “noobs” (that’s newbies in Urban Dictionary Language) and help them understand how useful, fun, helpful and productive all these new collaboration tools are. A group of us: “Gali, Audrey Weinland, https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/u/251791586 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken],Frauke Hoffmann, and myself were looking for ways of enhancing Getting Started. Gali has done an excellent job of organizing contents in the wiki getting started pages.
Create a Great Guide
Let’s see what kind of fun content our community can create to welcome the uninitiated. Let’s also have the community rate the quality of these learning demos.
Could be a great way for the undiscovered new member to shine.
Add your links to your new contents here: wiki getting started pages
And in case you want to explain to someone Really Simple Syndication, you might want to try this video by Common Craft Show as well.
Thanks for the great clips and the inspiration.
I'll be at TechEd and would enjoy the chance to attend/present/moderate an ASUG track on Community Day. Just let me know how I can help.

Sue
We are going to be launching a wiki page where you can start putting in ideas for presentations. Take a look here in Community Sessions where Mark Finnern has kicked it off.
Looking forward to seeing you at Community Day in Las Vegas!
After looking at the BPX community site, I've decided that I *do* qualify as a BPX. Workflow can/should be part of optimizing your business processes (or in it's more evolved forms, such as Guided Procedures or BPM) and as a workflow developer, I do have a lot of insight into how the business works. I'll be hitting the Community Sessions page soon.
Cheers,
Sue

Come on SDNers and BPX folks. Show the way! It would be very education to have someone create a piece showing what NOT to do as well 🙂
Thanks Marylin

This blog will come in really handy for getting the team working on the Team Discovery community project/wiki on SCN to fully understand this concept. I would think others wanting to get involved in these projects on SCN (but not knowing where to start) can benefit from these videos as well.
Even for technical folks with lots of experience, this whole wiki idea can be a bit mysterious, so thanks!
1) go to the wiki: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki
2) put into the search field inside the wiki "Getting Started With Wikis"
3) this should bring you a link that looks like this: https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Community/Getting+Started+With+Wikis
4) Ask marilyn.pratt@sap.com or yael.oryan@sap.com to request permission to edit the UWL expert wiki
5) feel free to ask for help in working in the wiki
