About CS Wiki

"CS Wiki" is an organically home-grown encyclopedia on Computer Science knowledge - created and maintained collectively by CityU's CS Dept community (staffs+students). This project was inspired by other similar knowledge bases, such as the Wikipedia (the Free Encyclopedia).

Wiki (invented by Ward Cunningham) is a software technology that facilitates collaborative work over the Internet. Anyone with a valid login can instantly add or modify Web content using simple Wiki notations. (Login and double-click to try.)

Obviously, the content of the CityU CS Wiki is open to everyone on the Web. However, at the current initial state of the knowledge base, only people with a valid CS Lab login can edit the contents. We welcome and encourage everyone in this community to contribute to the CS Wiki.

This "CS Wiki" website is a part of the CitiWiki project headed by Dr. Andy Chun with Lai Ho Kwan as the key developer/researcher. Other collaborators include Ms. Florence Mong, Martin Ng and Alan Ho.

This website is written and edited by anyone with a CS computer login. Therefore, the views and opinions protrayed here do not necessarily represent those of the Department of Computer Science or the City Univerisity of Hong Kong. This website was developed firstly as a platform for Wiki-related research and as a way to share knowledge related to Computer Science for the general benefit of the CityU community.

If you are new to Wiki, you might want to consider the following general suggestions of conduct:

If you do not agree with the information on this Wiki, or if you think that it is incomplete or flawed then please edit the page and improve it. You may also change the page or delete information that you consider inappropriate, offensive or abusive.
The fundamental idea of a Wiki is that there are more good people than bad people out there and that any misuse will be compensated by them. Even an encyclopedia is currently under development using the Wiki way.
The same rules that apply to the content of personal web pages at CityU do also apply for the Wiki. No commercial messages, pornography, discriminating or offensive content should be placed in this Wiki.
All contents of this website are the personal opinions of the respective contributors.
