Through work at the moment I am being exposed more and more to wikis and what they offer. It seems to me a great way of developing resources for orienteering. In particular it would be a great place to develop very large documents such as guidelines on event management. It could also be tremendously useful in developing coaching resources.
In the meantime I thought I would muck around with developing a wiki on performance analysis, particularly because I think orienteers generally don’t comprehend how much time they lose, and how much better they could be just by orienteering better. So this post links to an orienteering specific wiki – o-wiki.net – and the specific wiki on competition analysis that I started. Feel free to add to it.

The wiki o-training.net is for exactly that kind of stuff.

Thanks for that Jan,
I didnt know http://o-training.net existed. I like it. I notice its a open to approved people only policy which is a shame, but I think I understand why you have done that as well. It also appears like there is quite a lot of structure to the wiki, and not much (no?) use of videos or multimedia. Is that right? (but there are links out, just not embedded files). concern about internet speeds?
I think it would be great if we added to this more, I’m happy to contribute.
Doesn’t solve the organisers issues though which is perhaps more specific to local conditions.
Thanks for the exposure Jan.

BTW Jan: I can’t request an account on o-training.net as there is some error in recognising the confirmation code (or my math is really really bad)
