> WELCOME TO THE ISOC CHAPTERS WIKI
> 
> Welcome to the pilot ISOC Chapters News Site.
> 
> The site's objective is to build a showcase of all ISOC 
> Chapter intiatives by creating a unified and permanent 
> directory of all our local actions. This will be useful for 
> chapters, as each one will be able to see what the others are 
> doing, and it will also be a great tool to show the world the 
> impact that ISOC chapters are having throughout the world.
> 
> While we get the site up and running it will remain private 
> to chapters. After the initial rollout period, we will take 
> the site public and www.isoc.org will link to it.
> 
> The idea of creating something like this ISOC Chapters News 
> Site has been bounced around for a while in the chapter 
> community. Now that we have the tool, it is up to us to make 
> it work. For this, each active chapter must use the site to 
> post their activities. With time, the site will also become a 
> barometer of chapter activity.
> 
> What better way to let the world know what local chapters are 
> doing to make "The Internet for all"?
> 
> 
> POSTING RULES
> 
> 1. Posts submitted to this site must be news about chapters 
> (announcements of coming events, completed or current 
> projects). Please keep in mind that although the site is 
> presently private to chapters, the aim is to rapidly hook it 
> up to ISOC's public site so it can be viewed by all, so posts 
> should be written with a very broad readership in mind.
> 
> 2. Multilingual posts are encouraged. You are encouraged to 
> post in your local language, keeping in mind that if you wish 
> to broaden your readership, an English version of posts 
> should also be produced.
> 
> 3. Posts should contain a description of events and projects 
> organized locally, as weel as the impacts/results of these 
> activities. You are thus encouraged to return to posts 
> consisting of announcements for future events to complete the 
> impacts/results section of your post.
> 
> [Additional instructions relating to TikiWiki will have to be 
> included before we go online.]
