Welcome
From WaterWiki
- Welcome to WaterWiki!
- The knowledge "map" and on-line collaboration platform for Water Practitioners WORLDWIDE.
- A "wiki"
- is different from other websites.
Every single page can be edited, or new ones created instantly, by you - given you are logged in. Responsibility for the posted content lies with each individual contributor.
A Wiki is particularly suited to collaboration among peers in networks and communities of practice. Think of it as a large black board, where all users are given chalk and sponges to start writing up, or edit existing text. Wikipedia, the famous online collaborative encyclopedia with the humble vision "to capture the world's knowledge" is perhaps the best known Wiki-project; ten thousands of users are working constantly and jointly on millions of articles/pages/entries.
- We strive for authenticity, timeliness and applicable knowledge
- Style is not important
Feel free to use your own voice, whatever feels comfortable for your contribution.
- Wikis are very easy to use
- They allow any registered participant to edit and add content to the web-page.
Just click on the "Edit"-tab at the top, and once you have entered your text, you just click on "Save page". All previous editions are saved in the "History" page.
If you have any questions about using the wiki, please refer to the tutorial in the Help pages, or contact Juerg Staudenmann
- Before getting started
- There are only a few things to learn.
It will take a short time, about 15-20 minutes, to learn the basic steps, and will hopefully be relatively painless. Visit the Help pages with simple instructions on using the site and information about options and features that are at your disposal...
