What the heck is a wiki?

A wiki is an easy-to-use Web site that makes it profoundly easy to collaborate on projects. This wiki has been made public to allow anyone to read it, while still restricting editing to those who know the wiki's password. Edits are done in plain text and don't require learning fancy or complex codes like HTML. Just click Edit page and start typing! It's also easy to create new pages and make links to pages you've already made.

Where do I start?

Passwords, available to NSCSS members, will be emailed on a regular interval. Regular users are encouraged to create a permanent “PBwiki Identity” by visiting http://my.pbwiki.com. These users won't be affected by periodic password changes.

Annual Meetings

NSCSS annual meetings have occurred anytime between November 2nd and March 3rd. As a result, annual meetings can seemingly skip a year or can occur less than 12 months apart within the same calendar year. A general preference is for meetings meetings in February, consistent with the seasonality of soil science consulting. As of 2007, 2 annual meetings (1999, 2000) were held in the fall in conjunction with SSSA. As a result Cliff Lander's "year" as President lasted 15 months and spanned 3 years while Barry Dutton's presidency spanned only 9 months.
