Wiki Conventions

Here are some instructions for using the SPDX wiki. Every user who is logged into spdx.org can modify wiki pages. At the top of a page, you'll see an "Edit" option. You can then edit the page using the HTML editor. When you save the page, make sure to put in a message in "Log message" briefly explaining the change you've made. Then click on "Save" at the bottom of the page to save or on "Preview" or "Preview changes" to preview before saving.

If a page has been edited more than once, you'll see a "Revisions" link at the top of the page (next to "Edit"). Clicking on this link will allow you to see in detail which changes have been made to the page.

If you want to create a new page, click on "Add child page".

If you want to add a visible comment,  please start the comment by indicating the source by your initials, bolded, surrounded by angle brackets.  Then put the comment itself in italics.  For example: <kes> this is a comment or a question?.  The purpose of this is to make sure its clear that this is not part of the official text of the standard at this point, and provides localized context for the discussion.
