VALA 2008<\/a>, here I come. Well, if I can write one paper and co-author another one in the next 6 weeks. Ulp.<\/p>\n

I’m using a wiki to write both papers – even the one I’m writing by myself. Why? One spot where I can record what I submitted, the acceptance email, upload the files they sent me about submitting the paper and draft each section.<\/p>\n

For the co-authored paper, there is a table where we can record deadlines and who is doing what – and then we can read and comment on the separate wiki page for each section. When I’ve done this before, the wiki has been a place where co-authors could upload final, formatted WORD documents for others to download and check\/correct.<\/p>\n

The wiki I made for my paper is here, VALA – Do we remove all the walls<\/a>. You can watch it as I write it over the next few weeks if you are really voyeuristic.<\/p>\n

Here’s a “how to”<\/p>\n

1. Get a free wiki at pbwiki<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Copy and paste the text of the following to create a new wiki page. Link to them from the main page.<\/p>\n

2.1 The abstract you sent<\/p>\n

2.2 Author biography<\/p>\n

2.3 The acceptance email<\/p>\n

3. Upload any files, style guides, forms sent as pdfs or attachments. Link to them on the main page.<\/p>\n

4. Create a table outlining each section, number of words, date due, proof read, notes, who will do each section.<\/p>\n

5. Stop procrastinating. There is now no excuse. Get writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
