5 Cool Uses for Civic Wikis

I’ve spent a lot of time looking at other local wikis lately to try to generate ideas for The RichmondWiki Project. Here are some of the cooler features I’ve come across:

  1. Mapping the streets: ArborWiki’s Streets of Ann Arbor project.
  2. Listing community events: ChesterWiki’s Events calendar.
  3. What happened on this date: BhamWiki’s Dates tracker.
  4. Aggregating quirky data: DavisWiki’s Bizarro page, ArborWiki’s Birthday Deals.
  5. Local Slang: RocWiki’s Local Slang page.

Does this spark any ideas for new features or content for RichmondWiki? Wondering if something is feasible? Hint, it usually is.

Leave a comment or head over to the wiki and get to work! Need help? Don’t hesitate to ask.
