The Augustan Society, Inc., maintains a number of websites. In order to "divide and conquer" the task of maintaining them, each is assigned it's own Assistant Webmaster. The Society's Wiki is hosted at the Society's virtual server at RimuHosting in Dallas, Texas, and its management is assigned to the Assistant Webmaster for Wiki, who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Webmaster.
The Assistant Webmaster for Wiki is granted full access to the site, including the ability to grant editing rights to others. The website address is <wiki.augustansociety.org>.
The Wiki uses MediaWiki software. Additional data on this software is available from the "Help" link at the top of every page, or at <www.mediawiki.org>. This is the same software used on WikiPedia, so may be familiar to many users.
The Assistant Webmaster for Wiki is not responsible for maintaining the data on the Wiki; that task remains with Headquarters Staff and the Officers, Committee Chairmen, Deans, and Coordinators responsible for each topic. He may be asked to restructure or do other global tasks on request. He may also be asked to make edits for officers and chairmen who feel incompetent to do so themselves.
The Assistant Webmaster for Wiki will also establish a Wiki Style Manual to describe the desired format, in consultation with the Webmaster and Editor-in-Chief.
The Assistant Webmaster for Wiki should work with Committee Chairmen, Deans, and Coordinators and the Heraldry Committee to obtain arms or logos for each group, and to see that each is properly added to the pages they apply to, in compliance with the Wiki Style Manual.
The Assistant Webmaster for Wiki is responsible for monitoring the Wiki to ensure that edits have been made correctly, and are in general compliance with the Wiki Style Manual, and proper American spelling and grammar.
The Assistant Webmaster for Wiki should make maximum use of links between pages, both on the Wiki and to the other Society sites. Outside links should be used with care, and must be verified as active and appropriate. Efforts should be made to add links to both as appropriate and time is available.
The Assistant Webmaster for Wiki should establish a calendar that will cause him to visit and review every page and link on the site not less than once per year, and preferably more often. This review should include checking for grammatical errors, link rot, conformity to the Wiki Style Manual, and opportunities for enhancements.
The Assistant Webmaster for Wiki may change the architecture of the site after consultation with the Webmaster. He may also recommend new software, or the relocation of the Wiki to a different server, should he ever feel that appropriate.
