Hi,

   Wikis are a nice tool but certainly they have limitations you should
bear in mind while editing ... otherwise, it can be a disaster.

   In particular, parallel editing should be avoided, because what one
writes could be overwitten by another ...   We should be able to avoid
much of this risk by editing specific sections where not so many people
should be working in parallel.  This should offer enough granularity as
to avoid conflicting edition.   A particular practice we should avoid is
that of editing an entire Wiki page (clicking on the "edit" tab at the
top).  As said before, try to edit just specific sections (edit link on
the right of each editable section).

   Some of you may argue that I didn't need to send this warning because
this is something you already know, but I'm mentioning it because some
people have had sad experiences editing the FI-WARE Wiki precisely
because of this.

   Cheers,
