OlyWiki! A wiki for Olympia, WA!
Back in 2007 OlyWiki was started at oly.wikispot.org. It was built using the wikispot software, which was born out of the immense success of Davis Wiki, an incredibly active local wiki.
The folks who built wikispot.org have created new wiki software called LocalWiki, which builds on the successes of wikispot and Davis Wiki. LocalWiki was the recipient of a grant from the Knight News Challenge, and offers some pretty cool features. Most cool: the ability to really easily map content. We're excited to be working with LocalWiki, and we think OlyWiki has the potential to really make a difference in how Olympia, WA residents share and distribute information.
Our current goal is to reach 1000 pages. We need your help.
