Introduction

This is a the basic User's Guide for entering and editing Decision Support Systems (DSS), Case Studies, Lessons Learned and Country Reports. The purpose of this document is to provide users a method for entering the required information for each system.

Associated with this document is another which covers the basic procedures for creating and editing wiki text. Users with little or no experience in inserting information in media wiki, should start there, to understand the foundations of wiki text editing.

This repository, thanks to the nature of the wiki tool used will be dynamic, continuously evolving over time. It will serve also as a storage point of a controlled vocabulary or ontology on Decision Support Tools
