Instructions

Purpose: The purpose of the CFG Wiki paradigm pages is to involve Participating Investigators (PIs) in demonstrating how the CFG has made progress against its overall goal to 'define paradigms by which protein-carbohydrate interactions mediate cell communication.'
Process: The CFG is currently working with 1-2 experts per page as they begin filling in the wiki Paradigm Pages. To obtain editing privileges, you must 'login'.
Focus: For consistency between paradigm pages, please maintain the 30 selected paradigm glycan-binding proteins (as seen on the Main Page) and the standard outline and formatting of each individual paradigm page as they appear. The CFG would be particularly grateful to PIs for filling in the gaps regarding:
Progress toward understanding this GBP paradigm
CFG resources used in investigations

How to edit a Wiki page:

• click the 'Log in' link in the top right-hand corner.
• Create a login and password if you do not have one or if you forgot your password, click 'E-mail new password'
• From the Main Page, find the paradigm GBP you are interested in. Follow the link to that page.
• Click the 'edit' tab at the top of the page.
• You will see a text box containing all of the text and html tags that make up that paradigm page.
• Contribute 2-3 sentences for each of the blank fields (e.g. 'Progress toward understanding this GBP paradigm').
• If you can, contribute to the 'CFG resources used in investigations' section, including links to specific datasets in the CFG database.
• For formatting, use common html tags (see table). Tip: Copy and paste text from the edit box of another Wiki page that contains the formatting style you would like to emulate.
• Click 'Show preview' below the editing box.
• When finished, click 'Save page'.
• For more help editing Wiki pages, visit the Wikipedia markup help page.
