Spacers' Wiki

Hello! Welcome to the Spacers' Wiki. This is a space where Access Space participants (Spacers) can create wikified web content. We reckon it'll be most useful for documenting collaborative activities - but you may find another use for it.

If you want to experiment with this wiki, READ the “How To…” (below).


Ongoing Activities

Games Group

Games Group meets in Access Space most Tuesday evenings to play games. But we don't play computer games! Currently our preoccupations are chess, chess variants and role-playing games. Curry is also a factor.

Warped Wednesdays

On Warped Wednesdays help is available all day for people working with digital images, from 11am-7pm, using open source software such as the GNU Image Manipulation Program (www.gimp.org). People of all levels of skill are welcome - from complete beginners to seasoned experts…no need to book, and it's free!

Show and Tell

Presentations of creative projects involving technology followed by discussion, every fourth Friday from 26th February 2010, 3-4pm

Saturday Recovery

Saturday Recovery

A day long workshop to re-cover and revive our tired old chairs! Saturday 27th February 2010.

Interactive Fiction Group

IF Group

Several people at Access Space are already interactive fiction authors. We thought it'd be cool to start an interactive fiction group based around the ALAN3 programming language.

Individual Spacers' Projects

Doan, Spaced Out and Mister Faulty The Golem

  • Doan - Chrono Trigger sprite comic.
  • Spaced Out - Interactive web comic based in the Access Space in a surreal alternate dimension - we need more pictures to star as characters, please visit us and upload some!

Doan now has her own wiki! It is still under construction but it will look awesome when it is finished! Honest, guv.

Black Dogs Case Study

By Cassandra Kill

This case study is part of my MA Creative Enterprise at Leeds Met. I hope that over time it will be edited, rewritten and erased to become a collaborative piece. Please feel free to read and contribute to the development of the piece as you wish.

Know How

An editable resource of technical information for both beginner and advanced users.

How To...

  • To modify content you'll need to register as a wiki user. Click the “log in” button and make yourself an account by clicking “register”. You'll need an email address for the wiki to send you a password.
  • To add new content you simply make a link to a new page, click through, and follow the instructions. To keep things tidy, we suggest making a new namespace for each project (a namespace is a directory on the server). To make a new namespace start from this page and make a new link like this: [[newproject:projectintro|My New Project]]. That makes a directory called newproject and puts a page inside it called projectintro. Click through, and you're good to go!
  • :!: To mess around please don't use other people's pages just to find out how this wiki works. Use the Wiki Sandbox instead. The Wiki Sandbox is a space in which to experiment using the wiki. Any document in the “playground” namespace is a test place - feel free to mess around!
  • Please, play nice! We know we don't really need to say this - but please don't sabotage other participants' work, and don't spam the wiki with numerous and/or oversized links to your own stuff. We can roll back the wiki to previous versions (we have an unlimited number of undos) so wrecking other people's projects is pointless - it's also annoying, and if you do this you'll find your access blocked.
  • You can now make an art gallery for your dokuwiki page! Just use the gallery function. Here's how.
