[Using Sakai] How to publish Wiki into the home page

You probably want the wiki to be full-screen on the home page rather 
than stuck in a little box. Here's how:

One way for the instructor to control the home page fully is by creating 
an alternate home page (as described in the official Sakai book). 
Basically you go to Site Editor>Edit Tools and make a Web Content Tool. 
Name it whatever you like (I'll call it "Home2" for clarity) and give it 
whatever URL you like (such as the URL for the wiki).

Then you go to the Page Order tool, bring "Home2" to the top of the 
list, and make the original "Home" invisible. Now when your students log 
in, they will see the full-page wiki as their home page, although 
instructors will still go to the original home by default since they are 
able to see "invisible" pages.

Hope that helps!
