Scout Wiki

I promised to provide you URL's for the ScoutWiki sites during the presentation about Web 2.0 so here they are:

http://www.scoutwiki.org/

That is the main portal for all of them, from which you can find links to each languages own wiki site. As you can see, there aren't that many articles: Finnish scoutwiki is "leading" with 3245 and the french are second with 2822. But the more we spread the word the more they will grow, right?
