| − | ==Welcome to the [[AboutUs Beta]]!==
| |
| − | The concept of a fully editable website was invented over a decade ago, and is now popularly referred to as a "Wiki" -- [[wiki|more on that story here]]. [[AboutUs.org]] uses the same technology to provide a collaborative space where people can share their knowledge, add their opinions and traverse the internal links of the site to discover sites related to their personal or professional interests.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can visit a web site from any AboutUs article page simply by clicking on the site thumbnail on the right-hand side of the page.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are many Web sites which are not yet in the system, so feel free to use the "'''add missing domain'''" box on the left hand side to add them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you know of a site, please feel free to see what information we've already gathered and if you can add something constructive, edit away! You don't need an '''[[Special:Userlogin|Account]]''' to use and make text changes to this wiki, although to upload pictures, images and other files, you will need one. See '''[[Advantages of Logging In]]''' for more benefits to having an account.

| |
| − | ==[[Suggestion Box]]==
| |
| − | '''AboutUs.org''' values your expertise in making our site a true community-authored Wiki. The site is still in Beta, so there's plenty of room for suggestions and improvement. If you have an idea, you are welcome to put it in the [[Suggestion Box]].
