A Wiki for Toronto

06-2-06 · 1 comment

In early April the Davis, California Wiki was covered in a Globe article. It struck me as a terrific idea for Toronto, and so I reserved a domain and then did what I do whenever I get feverish about a wiki idea – I pinged David Crow. And I suggested to him that he was the guy to do it, and that I would help.

I should have known, I suppose, but David had reserved an even better domain months earlier and had gotten the project off the ground, though other projects had intervened to distract him. Today, Sacha Chua, whom you might have met as a mesh volunteer (extraordinaire), mentions the idea again. David’s wiki is here. What a great idea this would be. Is it time for a wiki for Toronto?

Good Morning Rob,

I am the co-founding editor of http://Torontopedia.ca which is the Toronto Wiki.

We got up and running with a lot of help from the DavisWiki.org community. Torontopedia is now almost two years old.

I even seeded the following page:

http://www.Torontopedia.ca/Rob_Hyndman

:-)

David Crow’s website has morphed into a start-up portal and no longer appears to be a wiki.
