== Intended purpose ==
You’ve got it in one. Couldn’t have put it bteetr.
 
=== Knowledge base ===
 
Due to the enormous proliferation of activities in the fusion field, it has been considered useful to develop a general repository of information about, e.g.:
* Concepts and definitions of fusion terms and abbreviations (basic and advanced)
* [[Fusion laboratories]] and research facilities
* Fusion lines of research
* Fusion policy
* Fusion organisations, structures, entities, committees, departments, projects
* [[FusionWiki:Current events|Fusion meetings and conferences]]
* References to the main publications in the fusion field
* Fusion-related software (simulation codes, analysis codes)
* Fusion-related [[Educational material|educational material]], images, movies
 
=== Referral to top work ===
 
These items should have an entry with a '''brief description''' and '''references''' to external websites or literature. This should allow specialists and students to obtain a quick overview of the main issues and primary publications on any topic.
 
Obviously, there is a parallel with ''review articles'' in specialist literature, the difference being that a wiki is ''dynamic'', allowing continuous updates to include the latest work.
 
=== Research tool ===
 
The wiki should not only contain established knowledge, also controversial topics are welcomed.
Note that the wiki contains mechanisms to discuss and clarify such controversies (the ''discussion/talk'' pages).
Thus, the wiki has the potential to become a useful '''research tool'''.
