Because the software is based on the Free Software [http://www.mediawiki.org Mediawiki], the same software used by Wikipedia, it is free to use, can store many entries, and a culture of access is included. All site editing is done via the Web, so anyone can view any page's contents (via the edit or view source tab), [[Special:RecentChanges |site editing history]], page edit history (via the history tab), and [[Special:Version|components of the site]], as well as progressively learn how to use and contribute to the site (knowledge which will transfer to similar sites, and which I'd assert is digital literacy past filling in forms).

All the [[:Category:Site components|site components]] can be exported and re-used easily on any site using [[Special:Export]]. | The result is highly re-usable, organized information.
