Welcome to the COLA:NET wiki
This is a wiki for the Cornell Organization for Labor Action (COLA) and friends to develop documents, refine texts, archive the past, and more!

[edit] Hello, PAT
This is the COLA:Net wiki. It can be used beyond our group to the benefit of all. If it proves useful, we can move it to "neutral" ground.
To get started:
- Create an account: Log In / Create Account
- Note that using your proper name is neither required or necessarily encouraged.
- In your Preferences, you can set your email preferences to receive notification when a page you are "watching" is modified.
- You can make a profile, if you want.
- Add calendar events
- The calendar is just like a collection of any other wiki pages. Dates that show up as "red" have nothing on them yet.
- You are encouraged to make a wiki page for your events as soon as you have a date. You can use the event page to add information as it becomes available, and even to collaborate on planning for the event.
- Help write the PAN mailings.
- PAN mailings will be sent out every Sunday, containing the text on the wiki page for that Sunday. For example, next week's mailings will be accumulated on this page: PAN Mailing 11/30/08
- You can start the page for a future mailing if you're really thinking ahead.
For everything you wanted to know about wikis but were afraid to ask, check out the Wikimedia user's guide: User's Guide.
