Re: wiki.ietf.org and content-o-thons

[Greg Wood <[e-mail]>]

Hi Bob,

Selecting the “login” option using your IETF Datatracker credentials when you mouse over in the upper right of the meeting wiki page (and most other pages) you should be able to edit directly at the wiki page using Markdown.

(See screenshot attached)

The entire wiki is mirrored (2-way) to Github so there is an *option* to create PRs on Github to update pages but the direct edit method is more expeditious.

The current Edit on Github button is confusing so an update has been developed to address that, and it should be deployed shortly. 

Thanks for asking the question. I hope that info helps. Please do let me know if you run into trouble using that path.

-Greg
