| - Welcome to WikiJET, a source of information about the JET Programme written by JETs, for JETs.
- WikiJET is currently just an idea that I have for creating a wiki associated with the JET Programme. It's very much in the formative stage, and I'm creating this mini wiki at Wikia.com to have a space to thrash around ideas, brainstorm, and also to hopefully attract some other people who like the idea of it. Nothing is decided yet. Even the name WikiJET is one I just came up with on the spot. If you like the idea or even if you don't, please let me know. It would be great to get some comments on it in either direction.

| - Welcome to WikiJET, a source of information about the JET Programme written by JETs, for JETs.
- WikiJET is currently just an idea that I have for creating a wiki associated with the JET Programme. It's very much in the formative stage, and I'm creating this mini wiki at Wikia.com to have a space to thrash around ideas, brainstorm, and also to hopefully attract some other people who like the idea of it. Nothing is decided yet. Even the name WikiJET is one I just came up with on the spot. If you like the idea or even if you don't, please let me know. It would be great to get some comments on it in either direction. Basically I imagine WikiJET becoming a comprehensive source of information about the JET Programme, but also to contain materials that would be practically useful to JETs in their daily working (and social) lives. While I know that the informal motto of the JET Programme is that "Every Situation Is Different" (ESID), there are many things about our individual experiences that are common, and would provide great scope for a niche wiki:
* We're all foreigners living in the same Japanese cultural context
* We're all living here for a limited period of time
* The vast majority of us are not native-level Japanese speakers and our access to information is often restricted as a result
* ALTs (who make up the majority of participants) are working in schools, in similar working environments and have similar expectations placed upon us
* Many of us have far too much free time on our hands
* We're all young and fairly techno-literate
* Almost all schools and BOEs have internet connections All in all, I think the above factors mean there is great potential for the growth of an idea like WikiJET.
