==New version of "About this Site"== This website retains all pages about wikis, but all pages about [[Convivial Tools]] are being moved to the [http://convivialtools.net Convivial Tools Database]. ==Old version of "About this Site"== This site contains review information rather than encyclopedic or how-to information The information about [[Convivial Tools]] presented on this website is primarily '''review information''' rather than '''encyclopedic information''' or '''how-to information'''. The difference between these types of information is explained below: *'''Review information''' presents a rapid overview and evaluation of a subject. This type of information is found for example on a [[Review Sites|Review Site]], which Wikipedia defines as "a website on which people can post reviews for products or services." *'''Encyclopedic information''' is detailed, objective and verifiable information, such as should be found in Wikipedia articles. See the companion website: [http://conviviality.ouvaton.org Convivial Tools Encyclopedia]. *'''How-to information''' is practical step-by-step instructions on how to do something, as is found on [[How-to Websites]]. Although the name "Convivial Tools User Guide" might suggest that this is a how-to site, it is closer to a review site. Detailed how-to information can be found on [[How-to Websites]]. ==Categories moved from this website to the Convivial Tools Database website== The theme of this site was originally ''Convivial Tools'', which [[Ivan Illich]] defined as tools which allow the user to operate with independent efficiency.
