Final Wiki Assignment

The final wiki-ing will be building off of the semester's work on the wiki. Please update all the pages, and make sure all experiments and results are well-documented.

Overall Final Assignments

Make sure you clean up your wiki!

• Remove all empty/outdated pages
• Make sure there aren't dead links
• Make sure all attachments are labeled with a descriptive title and a date and comments describing them
• Move any pages you need to, make sure all pages are in appropriate locations
• Clean up the team calendar so it doesn't say your team is meeting forever and ever

Each team must also create a little wiki map for their pages. This can be a simple tree diagram showing the site map for your team (you do not need to include all the cross references, just the overall hierarchy with parent and children pages). Some teams' wiki pages are not organized logically, and many pages are not in the right places. Please use this little assignment to help you move pages to where they should be.

By the end of finals week your wiki should be organized well enough to make it easy for new team members to carry on your work next year.

Each team also needs a strong section written on what work should be done next. We traditionally stick this as an afterthought in the conclusions section of our reports, but it will be helpful for next year's team if this is a well-reasoned dominant section in the wiki. This section should also recommend training needed at the beginning of the next semester. If your group primarily uses MathCAD recommend a 1-on-1 MathCAD training session for new members. If you have developed a new program or research tool, create a help page explaining it, and indicate who future questions should be directed to.

Commenting and Peer Review

Please read through all the pages in your sub-team's wiki report and make comments on them or revise them as appropriate. There is an easy way to post comments to wiki pages, so please use that to edit and reply to each other. Monroe will be looking at the comments to make sure each team member contributes to each section. That is to help edit the material better to reduce the chance of mistakes being propagated through the work.

Individual Responses

Similar to the midterm wiki, make sure you update the midterm paragraph about your personal contributions to the team this semester. Any new pages you have created will already be listed below the pararaph, but update your explanation of work done since the midterm report.

Specific Final Assignments for the Teams

Research Teams

You will be expanding the midterm wiki report and updating all sections to reflect the final state of your project. Please explain all experiments thoroughly and present well-analyzed data.

Design Teams

You will be documenting your design algorithms on the wiki. Please use pictures to describe what certain functions produce. This wiki-ed report should explain your basis of design to an outside person.

Internally, your MathCAD files should have nearly line-by-line commenting to allow AguaClara team members to understand your basis of design.

Outreach Team

Please assemble a contacts database in your wiki section. There should be a table of contacts you have made, with links to meeting minutes from all meetings you've had with them. You should also have a detailed description of other interactions with the person so that next year's team has a concrete idea of what AguaClara's relationship is with each contact. Please make sure these are good enough that a new team member could pick up conversations with each contact.

Same goes for the fundraising contacts and NGOs/Washington, DC contacts...
