WICSA 2005:Slide & File Upload Guidelines

From WICSA Conference Wiki

Presenters are encouraged to upload their slides, and the Wiki software provides a "Upload file" page to facilitate the process. There are two parts to the upload process:

1. Uploading the file content
   • Supported file types: 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg', 'zip', 'pdf', 'ps', 'ppt', 'pps', 'doc', 'xls'.
   • If you need to upload a file type not listed here, please email the WikiMaster.
2. Linking from some page to the uploaded file media

Specific to presentation slides, please follow these steps to complete the upload process:

1. Upload your file, giving it a reasonably unique filename and a concisely descriptive summary
2. Find the "Papers" page for the session to which the uploaded file appropriately belongs and add a link there
3. Go to the Presentation Slides page and add a link there

The following is a quick walk-through using a specific example:

1. Upload file
   1. Click on "Upload file" in the toolbox to the left of any page
   2. For "Source filename", browse to the file you are uploading
   3. The "Destination filename" will be auto-generated, but change it to a descriptive and unique name, since this is the label you will use to link to the file
      • Spaces are allowed
      • Copy this name
   4. Add a concise summary
   5. Click "Upload file"
2. Linking from session Papers page
   1. Say your paper was presented in the Working Session "Quality"
   2. Go to the "Papers" page for the Quality working session and add the wikitext for Papers page shown below under the section for your paper (if it's not already there)
      • The string "Paper Title--Slides" is meant to suggest a template for naming your file
      • Make sure you change the name string to fit your uploaded file
3. Linking from the Presentation Slides page
   1. Go to the Presentation Slides page as well and add the wikitext for Presentation Slides page shown below
      • Please insertion-sort your entry to maintain the list in last-name ascending order
      • Make sure you do not break the line with any line breaks
      • Again, make sure you change the title name string and provide the author and session names

Wikitext for adding the paper and slides links to the Papers page:

Wikitext for adding the slides link to the Presentation Slides page:
