What is AdvocacyWiki?
How many times have you wasted an hour or more trying to find the answer to a tricky casework question?
AdvocacyWiki aims to become a central collaborative resource for advocates to find answers, fast. If we don't have the answer we will at least have a link to somewhere that does.
AdvocacyWiki has many driving forces, and the special Wiki software it's based on addresses all of them. In particular it's quick and easy for anyone to add or edit content, and very easy to find information on a wiki. No matter what questions you have as an advocate, over the next year you will increasingly be able to find a quick answer on AdvocacyWiki.
AdvocacyWiki is a practical project that will focus on practical information that advocates need to do their jobs effectively. For some examples of the sorts of questions we will soon answer, have a look at some practical examples.
