Rigid cohomology defined by Berthelot agrees with the formal
cohomology defined Monsky and Washnitzer for smooth affine varieites.
Motivated by this, mimicking the convergent theory of Ogus, we define a
site using weakly completed algebras. We show a certain sheaf cohomology of
this site agrees with Berthelot's rigid cohomology
