The Rolls-Royce Chassis Register site is built and maintained by Saikore using Atlassian'sConfluence Wiki software, which uses the same concepts and technology that drives Wikipedia. This means that each page can be edited, using your web browser, by clicking on the 'Edit' button. Unlike Wikipedia, there is a requirement that you must sign up to the site before you can modify content on the page.
Philosophy
The philosophy of this site is very simple, the content of this site is written by the users, anyone can change any page or create new pages.
The site is a non-profit site, and all revenue received from advertising will be used to add and improve the content on the site.
Wiki Culture
A good wiki culture will encourage people to contribute and collaborate, which will in turn make for a better site. A wiki with a good culture should be a fun place to be. Every wiki site has its own unique culture that emerges from the behaviour of its editors. But, in general, wikis have a particular type of culture that is fostered by a sense of openness and common ownership of the content. One detailed discussion of wiki culture can be found at the Wiki Wiki Web Social Norms site, which is a very old and established wiki site.

Even small spelling and punctuation marks are a valuable contribution to the site.
Be respectful
Please be polite and thank the author.
Never intentionally misrepresent or suppress other people's opinions. Be especially careful about deletion.
Please use your real name
