WELCOME TO THE WESTVILLE VILLAGE RENAISSANCE ALLIANCE (WVRA) HOMEPAGE!
What do you get when you cross Westville with a wiki?
More than a new coat of paint, the Westville web site is now powered by wiki software. Wiki software allows users to easily create, edit, and link pages together ... think wikipedia. So, what's in it for you? Registered users can create and edit pages themselves.
Here's your opportunity to share with the rest of us what you know and love about Westville. We plan on offering group tutorials soon but first adopters are welcome to contact Kate (wvra@westvillect.org) for the nickel tour.
What are the rules of engagement? The pages you create and edit need to be in someway related to Westville, grounded in fact and respectful of others on the site.
