Hitchhiker's Guide to the Wiki
From GSLISWiki
An incomplete, impromptu attempt at presenting the pages of the Wiki in a comprehensible, organized manner, urgently in need of aid from the Library side of the department.
I'd like to get some feedback on the construction of the Hitchhiker's Guide on the discussion page. Is it useful? If not, why? -Ingbert
One big problem with this page is that I don't keep it up. Organizing information on this wiki is a bit of a pain. Any ideas? -Ingbert
