What belongs on this Wiki?
This Wiki is not the place for information which properly belongs in the purview of the Compute Canada executive team, particularly the Executive Director of External Affairs (henceforth called the Executive). This obviously includes any communications intended for the general public, media or funding agencies. Materials related to training and outreach also don’t belong on this technical documentation site. To that end, ask yourself before you publish a page or make a change:
- Is this about what services or clusters are available? If so, has the service or cluster already been announced? If not, consult the Executive before publishing.
- Status information which changes on short notice --- available, offline, in maintenance, etc.--- will likely be the responsibility of the Monitoring Team.
- Is this information useful to a user, as opposed to other CC technical staff? If technical staff, then it might belong at https://ccdb.computecanada.ca/wiki/ rather than https://docs.computecanada.ca/wiki/.
- Does the information have implications for the security of our systems, or data on our systems? If so, consult the Director of Information Security before publishing.
- Is the information of interest only to a prospective user, as opposed to an existing account-holder? This is a gray area: A prospective user might want to know technical details about our services and facilities, the same as an account-holder, but if the information is only of interest to a prospective user then it properly belongs on https://computecanada.ca rather than https://docs.computecanada.ca/wiki/.
- External links may be appropriate, see e.g. "Getting an Account".
- Is this about how to use an existing service, cluster, or application? If so, go ahead.
