From Cap and Share Wiki

Welcome to the Cap and Share wiki

This wiki has been created using the same software that powers the well-known Wikipedia website. Unlike the main Cap & Share website, which is edited by a small team who have full control over it, this wiki is meant to be a common resource that many people can work on, add to, and edit. It can thus help to keep everyone abreast of what everyone else is doing.

If you would like to contribute please contact the wiki Administrator at laurencematthews [at] hotmail.co.uk

Sadly our co-ordinator Will Howard died recently, so please bear with us as we endeavour to take over the reins in order to continue his work.

Cap & Share UK Forthcoming events, and how to get in touch.

Also at the moment on this wiki are some links to articles and other websites of interest. In due course these will be moved up to the main Cap & Share website.
