COLAB Community Wiki (6VY)
This is the COLAB Community Wiki, an integral part of its Collaborative Work Environment ("CWE"). The wiki is intended for use by trusted team and members of the community for collaborative documentation. What we have here is a read-and-write web, as opposed to the traditional read-only web sites. It is a collaborative authoring tool. You can also treat it like the restaurant napkin that you sketch on, to share ideas with people sitting around the table. Except, this time, the wiki is your napkin, and the people you are sharing your ideas with can be all around the world, sitting in front of their computing device connected to the Internet; and they don't even necessarily have to be there at the same time you are sketching.

Please login (see: upper right corner, or create an account if you have not already done so) with a "WikiWord" styled user name for yourself (like "JaneDoe" or "AbrahamLincoln") before you proceed with a wiki authoring/editing session. We also recommend the use of a password (even if it's simple) so that your identity does not get spoofed too easily. Text formatting rules for this flavor of wiki can be found at the TextFormattingRules page. For other guidelines to working with this Wiki, please read our WikiStyleGuide and WikiProcessGuide. First time users could read more about the WikiWikiWeb and then play in the SandBox. (6W0)
