The EVI-Genoret WikiGenoret site is for You, EVI-Genoret member !
Do you know Wikipedia ? It's a huge, web-based, free-content encyclopedia, which is written collaboratively through internet by volunteers all over the world. Wikipedia contains approximately 1.5 million articles ... Wikipedia is run by Mediawiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediawiki), an open source software.
Using this software, Mediawiki, we installed for EVI-Genoret on our own computer (in Strasbourg) our own WikiGenoret site. This will allow to create, distribute and share the information that You, EVI-Genoret member will furnish.
Mediawiki is easy to use. You correct or update an existing page by clicking the above "edit" button. You can also create a new one. For that, first you have to create, in an existing page, a link to your future new page and then edit it by clicking on the link (which will be red as long as the new page doesn't exist). A link is indicated (in edit mode), with [[ ]] around the word you want the reference.
Don't be affraid to destroy or corrupt any vital data, Mediawiki shares backups very well ...
