Help on getting started with Wiki editing There are a couple of resources on WikiEducator to help you get started. You obviously have an account already and may need a little help with the basics of wiki editing. Visit our tutorial on editing basics and the tutorial on basic text formatting. If you're like me and only read the instructions when you have a problem :-) - there is a quick start set of guidelines which should get you going. If you have any questions please feel free to join our discussion list on Google groups which is a good place to get help from the community, or drop me a note on my talk page below.
