Community Indicator System DocWiki

The separate CIS (community indicator system) document wiki (DocWiki) is a central authoring point for all collateral, best practices, recipes, explanatory material and other related documentation to the Citizen DAN framework. It is both a knowledge base and a document management system that allows:

• Authors to document in a single, canonical form
• Single source publishing: publish in multiple formats (HTML, PDF, XML, XHTML)
• Excellent version/revision control
• Collaboration support
• Mixing-and-matching of content from multiple pages and articles to re-purpose for different documents
• Multiple author support, and
• Separate theming of output products for different users, preferably using CSS.

The Citizen Dan DocWiki is premised and organized around the Method for Integrated Knowledge Environments (MIKE2.0) information management framework. MIKE2.0 provides a set structure, phasing, templates and content for describing and guiding new installations in how to set-up and manage various information management initiatives.

All technical aspects of the DocWiki are fed from the complementary TechWiki knowledge base, which is where all of the OpenStructs open source components contained in Citizen Dan are documented.

DocWiki and TechWiki are one of the essential legs to the total open solution, of which the Citizen Dan software is a part.
