Hi All,
ISA now has the WIKI pages. The IT department just created a wiki and enabled it for us.
 
 http://wiki.usask.ca/isa (It is empty now)

Please let me know if any of you  are interested in working on it to start a Knowledge repository. We can use this to start a digital ISA newsletter etc.
We can let ISA members air their opinon write articles or just post  their term research papers here.
 
BUT wiki has not been organised yet. We need GREAT guys who can learn and work on wikis.
Any takers? You need not be a computer wiz to do this.
