If you're visiting Swisswiki for the fist time, we suggest a quick browse of the [[Swisswiki:About | About Swisswiki]] page first. == [[Expats-in-Zurich-FAQ]] == The [[Yahoo mailing-list Expats-in-Zurich]] is where this Wiki was born. See the list of '''[[Expats-in-Zurich-FAQ | frequently asked questions]]''' from Expats-in-Zurich. This also currently serves as the index. '''One reader said:''' ''"Excellent website! BRAVO! This is absolutely the best thing I have found since my book purchase in '95 'Living & Working in Switzerland'. Your information is current, your authors informed and readers delighted!"'' == [[Good things about Switzerland]] == In June 2008, quite a few members of the Yahoo [mailto:Expat-Moms-In-Switzerland@yahoogroups.com Expat-Moms-In-Switzerland] mailing list wrote up what they thought of as [Good things about Switzerland]. I thought they were worth collecting, so here they are. == Wiki? == A [http://wikipedia.org/wiki/wiki Wiki] is a collaborative tool used in many areas - some of the most famous examples undoubtedly being [http://wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] and [http://wiktionary.org/ Wiktionary]. == Suggestions/questions/complaints? == Right now, [http://swisswiki.ch/index.php/User:Pjessen I'm] running the show on my own. Later on, I would like to establish a group of editors to work together on style and content. If you're interested in participating more actively e.g. as an editor, [mailto:per@swisswiki.ch let me know]. == For authors == If you are writing for Swisswiki, sign up for the [http://swisswiki.ch/mailman/listinfo/swisswiki-authors Swisswiki-authors mailinglist]. Also, although it is not yet mandatory, please create an account and login before you start writing. Also, for the time being Swisswiki is a building site. Until we reach a certain amount of information, I suspect this will be the case. Feel free to play around and perhaps write the odd article to try out the Wiki idea and tools. When you're ready, perhaps have a peek at the [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide User's Guide]. Consult the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_settings configuration settings list] and the [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide User's Guide] for information on customising and using the wiki software. If you want to have a look at how popular Swisswiki is in general, I have created some [[visitor statistics]].
