=== 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 ''talk'' pages). | |||
Thus, the wiki has the potential to become a useful '''research tool'''. | |||
== Target audience == | |||
Any information related to Fusion activities and research can be included here, for reference by: | |||
* Specialists and students in the Fusion field | |||
* Colleagues working in other but related fields | |||
* The general public and the press (clearly ''not'' a prime target of this Wiki) | |||
== Summary == | |||
The FusionWiki '''is''': | |||
* A thematic wiki for Fusion-related information. The objective is to compile '''specialist''' information that does not easily fit in the generalist framework of the Wikipedia. | |||
* A collective project. [[FusionWiki:Community Portal|Contributions by members of the Fusion community]] can help making this wiki into a reference for specialist Fusion-related information. | |||
The FusionWiki '''is not''': | |||
* A competitor of the [[:Wikipedia:|Wikipedia]]. Do not include generalist information (for the general public) here, but in the Wikipedia. Do not copy articles from the Wikipedia here. '''Do''' include links to Wikipedia articles. | |||
* A private wiki. Anyone is invited to participate. | |||
As with all wiki's, there is some (minimum) oversight to avoid spamming and the inclusion of patent nonsense. | |||
