Editing BC Greens Victoria RRA Wiki:About

Welcome to the wiki for the Victoria Regional Riding Association. This wiki was created because volunteers saw that there was missing knowledge between previous iterations of Victoria Regional Riding Association's, and wanted a place where we could share and collaborate on building a collective knowledge base.

== What is a wiki? == 

A wiki is a form of publication on the internet which is collaboratively edited and managed by its audience directly through a web browser. Anyone can contribute to this wiki by using the edit button to change each pages content.

== Why use a wiki? ==

A wiki is owned by no one, and maintained by everyone. This site is not restricted by billionaire-owned, corporate platforms and content can be edited, copied, and shared freely and transparently. Every time a volunteer documents a canvassing script, or an organiser writes up a meeting guide it is an act of collective ownership. We hope that a collective, transparent knowledge base will help volunteers understand what others in the Riding Association are working on, what we collectively care about, and how are getting things done.

== Software used for this wiki ==

This wiki is powered using MediaWiki. MediaWiki is a software that is used by tens of thousands of websites and thousands of organisations including Wikipedia. MediaWiki is free, open, and time tested. It is an alternative to privately owned software from companies like Google or Microsoft, and therefore more aligned with the values of the Green Party of BC and it's campaign to "Fight the Oligarchs".
