dspier Hi, Dick is the name and I am a Member of the StopALS.nu foundation (www.stopals.nu), a Dutch foundation with website and forum about ALS, also known as Lou Gerhig disease. We have a very active forum with lots of patient information and now have plans for an ALS wiki on our site. Purpose is to collect practical information for patients, caretakers and research institutes, because sofar nothing else exists in that area! (only scientifical stuff) I am 47, tech. writer by profession and diagnosed with the disease. So I am unable to work full time. On my personal website I have installed the 'Adora Belle' to play with and learn from before we do the real work on our foundation website. You can find my playgroud on www.techwriter.nl/wiki/ (Dutch). That's it! :-)
taggic Hi Dick, you are welcome at the DokuWiki community and forum. A lot of information is provided within the DokuWiki.org and thousands of threads are in the forum. Sometimes it does not help and therefore many users and the core developers are here to help. Have fun with DokuWiki and its various plugins. Taggic
andi Hi Dick, welcome to the forums. I hadn't heard about ALS before, but looked it up in Wikipedia. I'm sorry to learn that there isn't a cure, yet. I hope DokuWiki can help to make living with ALS a bit better and raise awareness about the disease.
turnermm Lou Gehrig was one of baseball's greatest players. He played first base for the New York Yankees and held many records. He had to retire from baseball because of ALS.
