This is a [[wiki]], or publicly editable website, about the One Laptop per Child association and its projects.
The wiki of the One Laptop per Child is a facility consisting of various pages, many of which pages can be edited by everyone who visits the http://wiki.laptop.org webspace and some of which pages have been initiated by visitors to the webspace.
You can edit most pages via the "edit" tab; for help editing, see [[Help:Editing]].


Usually information is being provided in good faith by contributors to the wiki: however, it is possible for incorrect information to be posted by mistake, so readers need to check any information upon which they may rely.
Some of the pages are write-protected so that they can only be edited by members of the management team of the One Laptop per Child project. These pages are apparent because instead of an "edit" tab on the page there is a "view source" tab.


The provenance of the write-protected pages is high. Provenance of the information in other pages of this wiki is often of high quality due to the good will of the contributors, yet its provenance cannot be guaranteed. Sometimes provenance is not an issue: for example, if someone provides a link to a code chart which is within the http://www.unicode.org webspace, though readers need to check that any description of such a document made in the wiki is correct.


== Licensing and copyright ==
In some contexts provenance is not an issue: for example, where a person is putting forward an idea which he or she wishes the management team to consider or where he or she is expressing opinions on which way to proceed. Provenance does become an issue if something is stated as fact and a reader could rely upon that information as if it were fact.

Whenever you go to edit a page (by selecting the "edit" tab) you'll see near the bottom of the screen a link to [[Help:Editing|''Editing help'']]. You'll find most of the basic markup commands there. [[User:Walter|Walter]] 10:30, 28 April 2006 (EDT)
