Precedence: list

We have created a meetings wiki for the attendees of IETF meetings
(Your Wiki) to exchange information about such matters as meeting
venues, activities, specialty restaurants, transportation, currency,
and local customs. There will be a wiki template provided for each
meeting. The wiki uses DokuWiki software and a users guide can be
found here: http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki

Your IETF 79 (Beijing) wiki can be found here: https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/ietf79
and is also accessible from the Beijing meeting page of the IETF
website.

Some headings have already created, but no real content exists yet.
The two links to "soccer / football" and "bar BoFs" that exist under
Events are there as examples of things you can create, but there is
nothing there if you follow the links.

The wiki can be viewed by anyone but can only be edited by registered
meeting attendees. This is to prevent the wiki from becoming a spam
petri dish. If you want to add information (a great restaurant you
know of, an informal event (soccer game), etc) you will have to log
into the wiki. If you have already registered for the meeting, you
have an account waiting for you. Your login name is the email address
that you used to register for the meeting; your password is your full
10 digit confirmation number.

Note: this wiki is not intended to replace the host website, nor any
other official meeting related site. Instead, the intent is that some
of the information currently shared on the XXattendees mailing list be
captured online in one location, where it will be easy for members of
the community to locate and add to it. Our hope is that your wiki
makes a contribution to your meeting experience.
