The WikiTeX Geneva Project
Overview
The WikiTeX Project is a collaboration among assistants working at the University of Geneva in order to share and combine their experience with LaTeX. The final scope of this project is to write a general LaTeX Class for thesis works which should be simple, immediate and easily customizable and compatible with the rules imposed by the university in term of format.
The second intention would be to collect a series of advices and tricks related to different issues that one could find while writing scientific papers. Those topics would not be necesserely related to LaTeX but we think that they could be extremely useful to people who start to interact with journals and publications in order to make their way a little less steep.
As you can see the website is organized as a wiki in order to allow all the persons working on this Project to contribute. If you have questions you can certainly ask other users or mail directly to me (<riccardo NO SPAM DOT tediosi PLEASE AT physics DOT SPAM unige JUNK DOT ch>).
For those (Developers) who are not familiar with the "wiki" world I will leave here a couple of useful links on the subject and some tool for exercises...
If you want to learn more about wiki in general, first read about WikiWikiWeb, then about WhyWikiWorks and the WikiNature.
If you want to play with it, please use the WikiSandBox.
