== Planning ==

During three sessions, we'll focus on:
<s>
* getting to know Wikis: Wikis origins, goals, and relevance in todays web; But also its syntax, structure,
* converting Wiki pages into other formates, using Pandoc: website(HTML pages), EPUB, ICML(inDesign project)
* Mediawiki API - access content through Mediawiki API, and in conjunction with Pandoc develop scripts which automate publishing tasks; Experiment with retrieving and applying normally hidden information, such as a page's history.

== For whom ==

Graphic Design students and anyone else who wants to become familiar the tools necessary for the creation of websites and e-books.

= Course Goals =
By the end of this course participants should have:
<s>
* developd an understanding of wiki as flexible, customizable and open (read-write) publishing environments on the web.
* familiarized themselves cultural context in which Wikis developed, as well as the motivations that led to their development and popularity.
* familiarized themselves with the conventions of wikis, such as syntax, pages' structure, revisions, categories, namespaces.
* understood and explored the wiki as an inherently hybrid publishing environment, by:
** comprehending syntax as a structured language - a markup language - compatible to HTML and other markups, which results in the easy and lossless translation to many publishing formats and forms: websites, EPUBs, paper (through Scribus/inDesign), visual maps (SVG).
* exploring the possibilities of the wiki's API, as a way to programmatically access information from the wiki, opening up the possibilities for creating generative wikis, which are constantly informed by updates on the wiki.
