Thing 20

Welcome to Thing 20!

GCPEDIA is a collaborative authoring and development environment for all GoC employees, thus its role is different from the internet and the intranet. Whereas the Wiki is meant to provide a free and open environment for collaboration and discussion, the intranet and the internet are official communications and information sharing vehicles. As such the intranet and internet are home to final documents, approved polices and procedures as well as official communication channels for departmental employees, our external clients and citizens. The Wiki is intended to house content under collaborative development."
