Organisation of the resources

Hi,

I'd like to build the "resources" part of the website. Kenji suggested to use a wiki per country. I think it is a very good idea, but I am wondering if the use of wikis is not complicated for non internet specialists... what do you think?

I think that part of the website has to be organized per country. Everybody should be able to add an interresting resource (that's why the wiki might a good idea).

Do you think that part of the website has to be composed of links only or should I create a system that could allow expatriates to write articles?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and ideas ;)

I think that there are some very easy-to-use Wiki available.

The one I am using (Dokuwiki) has a javascript editor with buttons for titles, images, link and what not. It doesn't requires SQL either and is fully compatible with Unicode.

There are some comparisons charts between all existing wikis. Here is one : http://www.answers.com/topic/comparison … i-software

Hi,

the expat resources part of the website is now under construction!

A preview is available here: https://www.expat.com/resources/

The system is based ... on dokuwiki :)  (thanks Kenji!)

Julian I can give you a hand, if that's what you mean.

Yep I hope everybody will give a hand! As you'll read somewhere else on the forum I am moving back from Spain this week (so I am quite busy) but we'll speak about everything very soon!

Take care of yourself :)

Do you know what is a wiki? You've got an explaination here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

We'll use that system for the resources. Do you think it is a good idea?

What I am doing for myself and can get you copies of is the contact info for embassies and consulates.
