The technical infrastructure for Swisswiki is provided by ENIDAN Technologies GmbH of Herrliberg, Switzerland.

Purpose

To be a focal point for miscellaneous information about Switzerland, in particular of interest to expatriates moving to or living in Switzerland.

Initially, Swisswiki will host the FAQ (frequently asked questions) from the Yahoo mailing-list Expats-in-Zurich, but it is anticipated that it will also host e.g. FAQs or other articles from other sources.

Content

Language

It is expected that the primary language used will be English, but there's no reason why other languages should not be used when appropriate.

Funding

For the time being, ENIDAN Technologies GmbH provide their services free of charge. It is anticipated that the popularity of Swisswiki may necessitate a move to a location with better service and features, the costs for which could be covered through Google Adsense.
