Welcome to the Cybis Wiki on dendrochronology!

The scope of the Cybis Wiki is Dendrochronology and things related to the science of tree rings. E.g. methods, programming, equipment, measurement data and sites related to dendrochronological studies.

The Cybis Wiki is hosted by Cybis Elektronik & Data AB owned by Lars-Åke Larsson who is the author of the CDendro and CooRecorder programs. Despite the bias towards these Cybis programs, the Cybis Wiki welcomes contributions related to other software and methods as well.

Why is not Wikipedia enough? Why do we need a Cybis Wiki too?

Wikipedia is really great and for many general issues it may be best to make your contributions to articles within Wikipedia, rather than to articles here.

Besides articles which may as well be published in Wikipedia, Cybis Wiki will also include material which does not fit in Wikipedia because of the Wikipedia principles of 'Notability and of No original research. I.e Cybis Wiki is a place where you may publish also measurement data as well as methods invented by yourself and results of dendrochronological investigations of any kind. Though still it has to be possible to verify statements, but necessarily not only by referring to reliable published texts as within Wikipedia, but also by reference to common practice and experience developed among dendrochronologists. - We will certainly link to Wikipedia articles quite often, and also reuse material from Wikipedia in articles here. Hopefully, some articles developed here may end up as candidates for publishing in Wikipedia. The idea of Cybis Wiki is to gather useful information related to dendrochronology and to help us develop as dendrochronologists!
