Board

From The Othello Wiki Book Project

The board used for playing othello is a square green 8x8 board ; the 90's years saw the emergence of the word othelier to name it. ____________________________________________________________________

Hi Claudio (....and others concerning)

Thank you for you positive reply. Surely, I would like you (and everyone else) to participate in this because the more people participate the less work for everyone. At the moment, most of the wiki has been done by Geoff Hubbard and a little by myself. But imagine if 100 players participated. With 100 editors/writers, it would be enough if each one writes few words or makes few minor changes every week. That is the true concept of a wiki : to grow slowly and steady as a result of many peoples small contributions.

Example: the page regarding "board" at the start just said The board used for playing othello is a square green 8x8 board., but maybe someone can tell a little about which boards are available, another one might upload a picture, a third person might write about how to make your own board, a fourth person corrects some misspellings and the fifth person do some layout on the page. Even person number 7 might step in, and write some about where to buy boards.

Go ahead: http://othello.dk/book/index.php?title=Board&action=edit In no time the page about "board" is filled with all the information you could imagine. It really has the ability to gather all knowledge on the issue othello, in a living book that everyone can edit. Free open-content!!!
