[Nuclear-data-miners] NDM Wiki Format

[Dan Protopopescu]

Dear Sebastian,

Thanks a lot for adding the EG6 links to our wiki. One good point to debate
during the NDM meeting next week would be:

  Should we (1) require that all the content on the NDM wiki be actually stored
  on the Jlab wiki, or we (2) accept external links ?

In case (1) all information, files, plots etc. are in one place, maintained by
Jlab IT and safe 5-10 years from now. I admit it's more awkward to upload
stuff there than is on a local wiki (my case) or website (Mike's). But it is also
searchable, allows a history view etc.

In case (2) we have a central location where everything related to the NDM is
linked, but we allow flexibility in format, with everyone choosing where and
how to store their documentation. This is easier, but has some disadvantages,
of which the most obvious is that external links can get outdated. Also not
searchable and with a mashup of formats, harder to find one's way in it.

Best to discuss this early and stick to a format.

Best regards,
Dan
