This is an official ODERSA website. Here’s how you know

The official domain

The address of this site ends in odersa.org. Every service the association runs sits on a subdomain of odersa.org and nowhere else. If the address in your browser’s address bar does not end in odersa.org, this site is not ours.

Free, and no account

Everything is open straight away. No sign-up, no account, no password, no subscription, no advertising. Nothing is held back for those who pay, because there is nothing to pay for.

No data collected

This site does not follow you: no tracker, no tracking cookie, no measurement tool built into these pages, and nothing measured on your device. Our host counts requests in aggregate, as any server that answers does: a total, never a profile. You do not have to take our word for it: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and reload the page. You will see the full list of what the site asks for. Everything comes from odersa.org, nothing goes anywhere else.

Free to reuse

The content is published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. You may copy it, translate it, print it and pass it on, for your classes as much as for the people around you, on one condition only: credit ODERSA.

Contributing to verification

Report an Error

This site publishes measured and dated claims; it does not ask to be taken on trust. An error found by a reader does not contradict that approach, it extends it: the division receives it as a contribution to verification, not as an inconvenience.

What is useful to include

A report is easier to act on when it is precise. It helps to state the address of the page concerned, the exact passage in question, and the number, figure, or table at issue where the report concerns a measurement. It helps just as much to say what looks wrong and why – a source that states something else, a value that does not match, a caption that misdescribes what a figure shows. When a report concerns a demonstration output, naming the language involved makes the document easy to find.

Outputs published without retouching

The demonstration outputs on this site are published exactly as the system produces them, rough editorial edges included: the division does not polish what it puts online after the fact. A rough edge of style is not, on its own, a factual error; it can still be reported on the same terms, if it hinders reading or invites confusion.
