 * Guidelines for collaborative writing on a wiki **
 * 1) Know your roles and responsibilities.
 * 2) State your preferences to your facilitator well in advance.
 * 3) Respect copyrights.
 * Use your own words, list the reference of your source of idea.
 * If you quote, name the author and name the source in the list of references, starting with the author’s name.
 * 1) Be sure that your expectations of other team members and their time are appropriate.
 * We are all busy and collaborators may have difficulty in contributing at specific times.
 * 1) Be an early contributor.
 * Placing basic content online as early as possible makes the editing process by others easier, especially in terms of managing their time.
 * 1) Sometimes collaboration does not work.
 * As long as you make a reasonable effort to identify and resolve the problems - usually through discussion, flexibility and hard work - the team work can get completed satisfactorily.
 * The procedure **
 * 1) For each page of the wiki the facilitator will assign a **team of 3 principal writers** who will write the basic content **by a specified date**.
 * 2) The rest of the group can read and **edit** the writing **after** that date.
 * Editing should be done judiciously.
 * Editing should not consume much time – edit and save and exit the page.
 * Sentences may be rewritten.
 * Sentences may be added.
 * Only delete sentences if they are proven to be factually incorrect or offensive.
 * 1) The principal writers will:
 * Use email copied to each other to discuss the content outline (the main headings of the content)
 * Assign sections of content to each other
 * Write the content and share it with the other principle writers.
 * Post the content to the wiki by the specified date.
 * 1) The principal writing process should take about 4 days to complete.
