simon<p>En train de créer ma première page sur Wikipédia, les "Software Hash Identifier". Des sortes de DOI, des identifiants uniques pour les logiciels permettant de mieux référencer les différentes versions.</p><p>Hier j'ai tenté de commencer par une page presque vide avec un lien à la référence ISO.
