====== Why use wiki? ======

//((Hazmil: Based on my discussion with some other group. This description is very basic at the moment. There are many exciting and useful ways to use this wiki platform and I will expand on this, and others can add through directly editing the text or through the comment.))  //
  - What is wiki?
      - "A wiki is a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience directly using a web browser."
      - We don't have to really worry about the hierarchy and structure of the content. Everyone (with privilege) can just continously add/edit information, reorganise, and relate different pages or piece of contents via hyperlinks.
  - Why use wiki?
      - Knowledge base for incrementally build up our collective capability where every privileged members can contribute, for seamless collaboration (a hive mind).
      - Knowing current collective knowledge/capability/expertise of the members, new projects (FYP, Master, PhD) can be designed to fill-in the identified gap or explore interesting topics/tools, building up on existing knowledge of the group.
  - **Wiki greatly support the use of open-source tools.**
      - Members which directly work on a certain topics will store exact configuration to run a certain problem (the version of softwares, config files, etc), complete to reproduce results, including data analysis routines.
      - This is important as a workflow of computational mechanics using open source tools usually use those developed by different group therefore compatibility with specific versions can arise.
      - Computational packages are quickly evolving, therefore it is encouraged that the person working with specific tools to continously document a working or improved workflows for other members to keep updated with recent changes.
      - Ideally, for long term usability, the set of tools including its software environment used for a certain project should be containerised, and a properly organised wiki with a group of maintainers can ensure that the setup is always reachable.
  - Privacy?
      - Groups can be created with specified read-only/edit privileges to certain pages. For example, top level admin can read/edit all pages. A group of undergraduate students working on a very specific industrial problem will be added to a sub-group where they can only see pages relevant for their projects.
  - Wiki vs github
      - github more on source code for a software, and documentation around it. Whereas wiki is for more general contents.
  - large media storage?
      - can embed files from other host e.g. Youtube, Facebook, Google Drive.
      - wiki server will only store text and formatting to save space to keep load on the server low.
