Contents
Content[edit]
The purpose of WikIT is to provide a resource to help in taming the torrent of information that knowledge workers have to deal with now. All entries that contribute to achieving that purpose in a clear and factual way that follows the policies below are welcome.
This is not Wikipedia.
But that does not mean it’s a site for shameless self-promotion – it is not
Policy on linking and promotional entries[edit]
If you have a useful commercial product or service related directly to one of the topics covered in WikIT…
You may:
- Describe the product or service in neutral terms: Above all, be factual!
- Make one link to a relevant page
You may not:
- Add hype, links to pure marketing sites or to spam pages.
- Add multiple links (unless there is a very good and obvious reason).
- Link to “squeeze” pages.
- Add descriptions of mind or concept mapping software – this seems pointless when there is already a site that covers this very extensively and in a neutral way at mind-mapping.org. An exception to this is when a particular kind of mind mapping software offers something that others do not and you want to describe how to use such a feature.
Changes or entries that do not comply with the above will be reversed out promptly.
Policy on copyright[edit]

DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE COPYRIGHT OWNER!
This applies to images as well – if you submit images, they should either be ones you created yourself, or you should have written permission from the copyright holder.
Copying from WikIT[edit]
You may copy and re-use material from WikIT, provided that you state its source and link back to the page from which you copied it.
