====== About Lehigh ISE / COR@L Lab Wiki ======

Lehigh ISE / COR@L Lab Wiki is our new system to create a collective information resource within the department.

===== Info =====


==== What is Wiki? ====
From the Wikipedia ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki)) definition,
> A wiki is a web application which allows people to add, modify, or delete content in collaboration with others. In a typical wiki, text is written using a simplified markup language (known as "wiki markup") or a rich-text editor.

==== Who can use this Wiki? ====
At this moment, [[start|Lehigh ISE / COR@L Lab Wiki]] is only open to faculty and PhD Student of Lehigh ISE department.

You can create new pages, edit the existing pages, upload resources or even delete the content from the system. You are free to share any information as long as it is in the interest of users.
