The cdli:wiki project

Born with CDLI, cdli:wiki is now a collaborative project of members of the French CNRS team ArScAn-HAROC, and staff and students in the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the University of Oxford, with contributors in several different countries. The cdli:wiki is currently funded by the Cluster (LabEx) Pasts in the Present ("AssyrOnline: Digital humanities and Assyriology" project).

Participants in the 2017 annual meeting of the cdli:wiki team at Wolfson College, University of Oxford.

The cdli:wiki is not an open wikipedia but an edited wikipedia. However, anyone can request editorial rights by contacting one of the lead editors.
Editors should inform the lead editor of the area they plan to work on, when they have made substantial changes.
Editors who wish to make global changes to a topic should notify the entire cdli:wiki editorial community beforehand.
