 Software and Operations Instructions 

This site is a living, community-driven collection of software development and DevOps guidance for the University of Helsinki.

The wiki is accessible on the Internet, and all University of Helsinki employees can currently edit its content. Additional permissions can be granted when needed.

Contributing to the SO Wiki

The SO Wiki is a collaborative knowledge base for software development practices at the UH. Everyone is encouraged to contribute by adding new content or improving existing guidance.

The SO Wiki follows a "by community, for community" approach. Everyone is encouraged to contribute by adding new content, improving existing guidance, sharing examples, and documenting good practices.

Success

Success depends on active participation from the community:

  • If something is wrong: fix it!
  • If something is missing: add it!
  • If something is outdated: update it!
  • If something doesn't apply: share your way of doing it! 
  • If something is confusing: ask about it!
  • If you add something new: explain it! What is it? Why is it here? 

Before creating or updating a page:

  • Choose the most appropriate section for your content.
  • Use a clear and descriptive page title.
  • Update existing content when possible instead of creating duplicates.
  • If you find outdated or incomplete information, improve it or mark it for review.
  • Add or update the review tag at the bottom of the page using the format MMYYYYreviewed (for example, 062026reviewed).
  • Keep content practical, concise, and easy to maintain.

If you need help with content planning, structure, or publishing, see the contact information on this page.

Thank you for helping keep the SKVA Wiki accurate and up to date.

Notes

  • This page is maintained in English. Some content may remain in Finnish.
