-A Wiki is a place to share information among a group of people. Information is not created by itself; instead, some people must create the information so other people can benefit from the shared knowledge. The other people can then use their own knowledge to update existing or add new information. A wiki is therefore a highly dynamic information exchange platform. That some information will be outdated is unavoidable; please inform the [[lofaradmin|administrator]] if you encounter outdated infomation, this helps us to keep the Wiki as up to date as we can. +A Wiki is a place to share information among a group of people.
