The scope of 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 CooRecoorder programs. Despite the bias towards these Cybis programs, the Cybis Wiki welcomes contributions related to other software and methods as well.
By contributing text to Cybis Wiki, you accept:
- Licensing under GFDL and/or CC-BY-SA which shortly means that you give the permission to others to reuse your text provided they a) give you an acknowledgment and b) publish the derivate work under the same license.
- You do accept that others may improve your text - as that is the Wiki idea!
This is the same basic conditions as for Wikipedia and related projects. Also, to enable a later transfer of articles from Cybis Wiki to other Wikimedia projects, the licensing terms of the projects have to be compatible.
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. 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.
But Cybis Wiki will also include material which does not fit in Wikipedia because of the Wikipedia principels of 'Notability and 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 quoting text as within Wikipedia, but also by reference to common practice and experience developed among dendrochronologists.
The idea of Cybis Wiki is to gather useful information related to dendrochronology and to help us develop as dendrochronologists!
Language
The main language of Cybis Wiki is English, though contributions in (some) other languages (such ones any of the administrators know: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, German)</ref> are also welcome. Such non-English contributions should be kept in separate articles and the article names should then end with the language code between brackets. Contributions to discussion pages may be in any language understandable for those involved!
Substantial contribution of relevant material is always number one. Wikifying and fixing proper article names and things like that can always be done afterwards, by anyone. This is a Wiki!
