Welcome
From WaterWiki
- Welcome to WaterWiki!
- A website for knowledge sharing (a "knowledge map") and on-line collaboration among Water Governance practitioners and UNDP-partners in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and CIS.
- A "wiki"
- is different from other websites. Every single page is editable by you (need to be logged in), and not under the control of any editor or authority. Think of it as a large black board, where all users are given chalk and sponges to start writing up whatever they think is important to others, or to edit already existing write-ups as they deem helpful.
- http://wikipedia.org (an online collaborative encyclopedia) is perhaps the best known and one of the most successful Wiki-projects, where ten-thausends of users are working constantly on millions of articles/pages/entries. A Wiki is particularly suited to collaboration among peers in networks and communities of practice.
- 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
- There are only a few things to learn
- before getting started. It will take a short time, about 15-20 minutes, to learn the basic steps, and will hopefully be relatively painless.
- For a quick introduction visit the Help-page with simple instructions on using the site; Feel free to check out the Advanced Help-page afterwards to learn more about oprions and features that are at your disposal...
- The WaterWiki Project
- If you are interested in how we did the WaterWiki, or think of replicating this exciting project, see the WaterWiki Toolkit for information (or get in contact with Juerg Staudenmann)
