That is why a wiki site has been implemented within the EFDA RP, which offers to the community a place to share and discuss information. It offers an immediate access, for consulting and writing, without any former knowledge. Its powerful interactive functions make this wiki becoming the reference site for RP subjects debates. About 60 members are registered now from 22 countries Sharing Information – WIKI site for EFDA RP Sharing Information – WIKI site for EFDA RP The EFDA RP wiki site is based on XWiki technology http://xwiki.org which is an Open Source. It has been adapted in order to satisfy the needs and demands of the community. It is available from any browser and is secured and moderated.
