Website Layout and Content
The LSST:UK Wiki is divided into different 'spaces', to help people find the colleagues and materials that are relevant to them. All but the Home space can only be accessed using a user account. Some spaces are restricted-access and only accessible by users with specific responsibilities. The current list of spaces is as follows:
Home – this space, which is available without the need to login and holds topical, public information, plus links to useful resources.
- /wiki/spaces/LUSC/overview
LSST:UK Science Centre (requires login) – which holds material for the (PPRP-funded, Phase A, B and C) LUSC project team.
- /wiki/spaces/exec/overview
LSST:UK Executive Committee (restricted to Executive Committee) – which holds information specifically for the Executive Committee.
- /wiki/spaces/LUSCSWG/overview
LSST:UK SWG (requires login) – which holds materials for the various science
-working groups and science collaborations that LSST:UK engages with.
- /wiki/spaces/BOAR/overview
LSST:UK Board (restricted to Board Members, plus supporting roles (that is, Project Manager, Project Leader, and so on)).
...
Collaboration – used to progress activities and/ or share documents and information with people from outside of LSST:UK. Material hosted on this space is likely to be accessible to people from the international science community, so should be regarded as being public.
STFC Oversight Committee (restricted to Executive Group and members of Oversight Committee) — which holds material to be shared between the project team and the STFC Oversight Committee
You can navigate to a site that is visible from you via the 'Spaces' pull-down menu at the top of most pages. If you do not have access to a space that you believe you should have access to, contact the LSST:UK Project Manager (George Beckett).
