Page History

The success of any open-source project lies with the community contributing its collective energy, knowledge, enthusiasm, and effort. The KnowledgeBase is a resource developed and monitored by the user communities to benefit potential, new and existing DSpace or Fedora users. You do not need to be a developer or even an expert to contribute. If you have experience using DSpace or Fedora, know a lot about a particular feature/functionality and/or if you know how to communicate information effectively, we welcome your contribution. We are always looking for content contributors (people to willing to write/present/edit content) as well as content moderators (people who review and provide feedback to content contributors).

The KnowledgeBase is designed to communicate information using a variety of methodologies. Since not all people take in information in the same way, the intention is to offer a text based guide, short recorded screencasts, presentation slides as well as webinar recordings.  All of these delivery tools can be found in the KnowledgeBase wiki, integrated into the Table of Contents framework.

There are several useful recorded webinar presentations which provide an in-depth discussion on topics. Webinars appear as embedded links throughout the KnowledgeBase and are generally stored on Youtube.com. Detailed guidelines/recommendations for posting slides can be found here.
