Welcome to wikiedia

Wikiedia is a place to post information on projects that involve Ed Egan, as well as other reference material that may be of use to the academic community. For more information on these projects or other material on this site, or if you have problems accessing files (for academic purposes), please email ed@edegan.com.

At present, this wiki is also being used to trial a wiki for the Business and Public Policy group at the Haas School of Business, which in turn will be used to trial a wiki for the PhD program. The deployment of a server to host the BPP (and PhD) wiki should take place in early September, and relevant content from this wiki will then be redeployed to the new environment. If you are a BPP PhD student or faculty member, please participate!
