We have launched the Wiki at Indian Officer. The Wiki is to pool collective knowledge and store it in one central location. With a Wiki, we would have an easy to access, easy to edit information repository, built, maintained and enriched by our own members. Indian Officer Wiki can be used as a powerful article system, which includes versioning and revisions. You can change your article as much as you want, knowing that all past revisions are stored in Wiki's Database. Not only that, you could have a team of editors contribute to an article, and easily see what and when each author contributed.
Further, wiki article created would be included in the Online Book and can be organized topic wise and course content wise. In course of time Indian officer would have complete subject specific notes in a book form.

Wiki would require some efforts and you might face difficulty initially in navigating and creating an article. But believe me, it would be worth a learning. We would be always there to help you understand and make full use of the system. Feel free to
raise any support issue at support and bugs here!
