Global Case Study Template
From DoWire Wiki
This Case Studies template is based on a template being used by UK projects. The content in each main section will be organized into a database, so use of the template is mandatory for paid case study work.
A page for projects on the Case Study List will be created by January 18. Until that time, authors make draft offline or create temporary pages via the wiki our drafting zone.
