Welcome to SAbERWiki, the knowledge base of all SAbER Mountain Companies.
[edit] Getting started
SAbERWiki is a centralized database for subjects that are important to SAbER Mountain Publishing Group of companies. Information concerning titles released by the publisher, published authors, projects that are run by SAbER Mountain can be found here. All information will be interlinked as it relates to other articles.
To make it easy to find the information you need, read the profiles below and choose the one that most accurately describes your current role. This will take you to an area where the documentation is organized according to the goals that you are most likely to require help with. There is a lot of overlap in the documentation for each of these roles; they are not mutually exclusive; so just choose one that seems to be nearest to your own role even if the fit is not exact. To make these user profiles more concrete and so help writers to target the material more accurately, we are looking at creating personas for each of the profiles.
OTA Authors As a new user to the SAbER Mountain Author Network, it is likely you have no clue how to get started! First things first, access to your account will be set up for you. SAbER Mountain Author Network (SMAN) IS NOT an open registration site. You will be assigned a Team Leader and he or she will get in touch with you to walk you through the initial process. SMAN uses Joomla! websites for the Author's individual websites. If you want to get a headstart we encourage you to look at the Absolute Beginner's Guide to Joomla! http://docs.joomla.org/Beginners
SMAN Authors The process of getting started as a SMAN Author is a little different than OTA Authors. You will not have a team leader to guide you through the process however, you will receive instructions regarding the use of SMAN Website. Your registration will be set up for you as well.
Team Leaders As an editor you will be responsible for reviewing the work of content creators, amending it where necessary.
Publishers As a publisher you will be responsible for ensuring that content on your website is kept up-to-date and relevant to your target audience. You might commission content creators and liaise with editors to ensure consistency and good organisation of the content.
Administrators As a website administrator you might be concerned about the visual appearance of a website but will pass responsibility for making changes and improvements to a web designer. Similarly, when changes to functionality are required you will contract a web developer to do the necessary work. As a website administrator you are responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the website. Activities might include ensuring that the site is properly backed up; managing user access; possibly installing extensions. You will also have responsibility for maintaining the security of the website.
