WRI Inner Web gateway page

There are several areas of the War Resisters' International website where WRI Council members, representatives of affiliates, working group members, and staff can:

post their own material;
participate in online meetings and consultations;
collaborate on WRI project work and documentation.

Services for which you can self-register:

The WRI Wiki: Most pages are open for anonymous browsing at http://wri-irg.org/wiki. You can also register as a user and write or edit pages within the public wiki. If you are part of a particular WRI project and/or are on the WRI council, you can request read/write access to the restricted pages (which are set up as internal discussion or documentation pages -- no big secrets are hidden here!) by contacting the WRI office after you have self-registered.
Translators are encouraged to use the Wiki as a place to collaborate on WRI translation projects. A four-language table of common WRI terminology is available at http://wri-irg.org/wiki/index.php/Translation_resources.
Mailing lists: some are open and unmoderated, while others have restricted membership and/or are moderated. Visit http://lists.wri-irg.org/sympa for full details.
Refusing to Bear Arms: another mailform script is used to gather data for WRI's ongoing update to the 1998 survey of world laws on military service, at http://wri-irg.org/co/rtba/response.htm.
RSS feeds: these feeds give the 25 most recent pages in each category.

Services which require authorisation:

(listed according to numbers of potential users, from widest to narrowest)

If you wish to post to the News from the Network web page (technically a mailing list which is automatically archived onto the WRI website) contact the WRI office.
Mailing lists: If you believe you should be on a restricted mailing list but are not (for instance, if you are a member of the Africa or Colombia working group), plese contact the list administrator through the appropriate link on http://lists.wri-irg.org/sympa.
The WRI chatrooms: these are not "chats" at all but places where meetings take place at fixed times during the year. The WRI Executive, Women's Working Group, and Triennial Committee have all made use of our previous (rudimentary) chatroom facility. We now have a greatly improved PHP-based chat script at http://wri-irg.org/members/arsc/base/. Meeting participants will normally be given one week's notice of the time for an online meeting in this space.
OpenGroupware-Server and calendar : controlled lists of users for specific projects (such as the Triennial Committee), at https://lists.wri-irg.org/OpenGroupware
Web-based email accounts for staff, volunteers, and officers:
- WRI Webmail - for email accounts at Comlink
- WRI Webmail - for accounts with the PhoneCoop
- WRI Webmail - for accounts at WRI

Services already open to the public on the WRI website, but of particular interest to members:

The WRI Constitution and Rules in English and French
The archive pages: the 1998 and 2002 Triennials, collected papers on the wars in former-Yugoslavia, and the 2001 conference on Nonviolence and Social Empowerment. All can be accessed through http://wri-irg.org/archive/.
Dealing with the Past: pages from this project, a core part of WRI's programme work from 1998-2004, can be seen at http://wri-irg.org/dealpast.htm.
The complete Refusing to Bear Arms documentation on conscientious objection, at http://wri-irg.org/co/rtba/. Since 2003 this has been open to all users.
- In 2005, we added updates for the Council of Europe member states, with thanks to the Quaker Council for European Affairs (see the list on the main index, where the year of most recent revision is noted)..
- In 2006, we added Spanish versions of the reports for 34 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Two of our online books, Nonviolent Struggle and Social Defence (1991) and Nonviolence and Social Empowerment (2001-2005) are also available as separate chapters through the Nonviolence homepage at http://wri-irg.org/nv-home.htm#chapters. The chapter list includes Spanish, German, and French versions of these articles where translations exist. Further translations, particularly of the latter book into Spanish, would be very welcome.
