Welcome

Add users

Your Deki is configured to allow users to create their own accounts from the login screen. However, you can also create accounts for users manually from the User Management in your Control Panel (See the "Tools" dropdown). Users who have accounts created for them will be notified via email; bootstrapping a community has never been easier.

Select a new style

Wik.is offers multiple templates and color schemes for you to choose - find a palette which is more appealing for your community. Changing your styles is as easy as going to the Visual Appearances in your Control Panel.

Explore your settings

Don't be afraid to explore your Control Panel - you'll find easy ways to manage and customize your Deki.

Collaborate

A browser and an internet connection is all you need to start adding content to Deki. Share ideas and plans through the simple interface. Click the "Edit Page" and "New page" buttons on each page to begin contributing content.

Create mashups

Deki supports boatloads of extensions - these are little features which allow you to embed content from other websites. For example, you can embed Google Maps, Windows Live Maps, AND Yahoo! Maps, all on the same page. You can also dynamically manipulate images using our ImageMagick extension.

There's so much you can do, so learn all about available extensions in your Deki by clicking the "Extensions List" tab (when the editor loads), or by viewing the Extensions page at the MindTouch Developer Center.

Share media

Attach photos, files, and all sorts of media to any page to share with your community. Files and images are revisioned, just like pages, so you'll always be able to retrieve older files.

Track changes

Did somebody make a change to a page that was bad? Use the revert feature to change the contents of a page back to an older version. You'll never lose any work in Deki.

Create an MindTouch Developer account

MindTouch Developer Center is for anybody who wants to participate in the growth of Deki - creating a free account gives you access to our community forums, our bug tracker, and to our wiki. Feel free to drop in, ask questions, or contribute.
