Cone.png This article or section is a stub. Stubs are articles that have not yet received substantial attention from the authors. They are short or insufficient pieces of information and require additions to further increase the article's usefulness. The project values stubs as useful first steps toward complete articles.

This is the meaning of the word in the nodal context. For XmlWiki workspaces, see Category:Workspaces

A workspace is a Node containing a collection of concepts and tools relating to a particular user or group. It exhibits layout and graphics properties based on the fundamental Geometry and higher-level Box Model. Workspaces may be static and used as templates or classes, but in normal operation a workspace is a dynamic user-interface structure undergoing change from interaction with its user or group members.

Wiki Organisation Portal

We are setting up a range of portals now in order to add the functionality to wiki organisation that is referred to here: w:Enterprise Portal. Portals form entry points to various aspects of the organisation. They have the namespace "Portal" reserved for them. There are some common features we are adding to our portals, which include:

  • Easy creation of new articles (using preloads)
  • Listing category articles (ideally in section 0 dpl report style)
  • Calendar interface for creating new articles and accessing historic ones (in some cases, like Portal:Meetings)
  • Creation of dynamic PDF reports of all category items listed in portal
