The D.U.C.K. Project has been launched!

What this wiki hopes to achieve is the collection and organization of various documentation stored throughout our network into one centralized location. A great deal of the existing documentation is in flat plain ascii text files. These text files are largely dealing with information technology, however, there is a great deal more miscellaneous data also stored on the network. Using a wiki makes the information more accessible than manually searching through all of the text files in different locations. The information comes from other sources besides the flat text files, including web sites such as www.techreviewcentral.com and linux.dbw.org . Finally, the wiki makes it easier to grow the collection of information. This is because it is so fast and easy to add information to the wiki, and create new wiki pages. This is also due to the Web 2.0 nature of the wiki, allowing for visitors to add to the information and compiler their own notes within the wiki.

There is a great deal of work involved in migrating all of the information scattered about our network into the wiki. Only some of the information is in flat text files. Other information is in web pages, Word documents, Open Office XML documents, PDF files, and other formats going back to WordPerfect 5.1 documents created in MS-DOS, and ANSI BBS screens. The current focus is on importing data from the text trees from Robotz.com. This process is well underway, and is perhaps at about 12% completion. The next step is to parse though network documents. We are having difficulty importing programming source code as some of the syntax interferes with wiki formatting. Applying the no-format tags is time consuming. New information is being created in the wiki that is not coming from other network resources locally. This means that there will be data on the wiki that is not in our other repositories. |
