This Wikis is empowered by the CNM Wikiware, which is the CNM app that is comprised of two MediaWiki instances supported by CNM Servers. Consult the User's Guide for information on using MediaWiki.
One instance empowers the Wikis services (you are utilizing it while reading these lines) and another, at wiki.next.friendsofcnm.org, is created for learning and testing purposes. It is called Wiki.Next and, particularly, it empowers hands-on training of WorldOpp fellows.
CNM Digital Team considers switching from MediaWiki to another software. Currently, four new instances are installed at CNM Trial Server.
