<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>__NOTOC__<br /> ==Old version of &quot;About this Site&quot;==<br /> This site contains review information rather than encyclopedic or how-to information<br /> <br /> 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:<br /> *'''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 &quot;a website on which people can post reviews for products or services.&quot;<br /> *'''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].<br /> *'''How-to information''' is practical step-by-step instructions on how to do something, as is found on [[How-to Websites]].<br /> <br /> Although the name &quot;Convivial Tools User Guide&quot; 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]].<br /> <br /> ==Categories moved from this website to the Convivial Tools Database website==<br /> The theme of this site was originally ''Convivial Tools'', which [[Ivan Illich]] defined as tools which allow the user to operate with independent efficiency.
