On Friday July 21 and Saturday July 22nd we will be performing some updates on wiki.ucar.edu that will introduce some changes to the application and how it works.

On July 21 2017 at  5:00 PM MDT, Confluence (Wiki) authentication will be changed to use CIT passwords.   For more information, click here.

After the CIT account change, wiki.ucar.edu will be taken offline until the afternoon of July 22nd.  During this time the application will be brought through several version upgrades.  Information on changes from these upgrades can be found here.

Balsamiq is a really cool GUI mockup tool that uses Flash to create a rich toolset for mocking up interfaces. You simply add the {mockup} tag to any wiki page and then start to build your mockup. A big thanks to the vendor for giving UCAR a free license for Balsamiq since we are a non-profit.

The Scaffolding plugin was installed to provide the ability to structure data on pages with forms that are more full featured than Confluence templates.
