Creating a Wiki page for your ROS package
ROS wiki allows users to create their own home pages to showcase their package, robot, or sensors. The official wiki page of ROS is wiki.ros.org. Now, we are going to create a wiki page for our package.
You can download the example code files from your account at: http://www.packtpub.com for all the Packt Publishing books you have purchased. If you purchased this book elsewhere, you can visit: http://www.packtpub.com/support and register to have the files emailed directly to you. You can also download chapter codes from: https://github.com/jocacace/mastering_ros_2nd_ed.git; this code repository contains the link to all other code repositories used in this book.
The first step is to register in wiki using your e-mail address. Go to wiki.ros.org, and click on the Login button, as shown in the screenshot:
After clicking on Login, you can register or directly log in with your details if you are already registered. After Login, press the username link on the right side of the wiki page, as shown in the following screenshot:
After clicking on this link, you will get a chance to create a home page for your package; you will get a text editor with GUI to enter data into. The following screenshot shows you the page we created for this demo package:
