A "New" Type of Wiki to Advance the Common Good
Hello, The Meyer Memorial Trust in Portland, OR has taken advantage of the fact that the Portland area is a computer geek nexus and has worked to help create connec+ipedia – http://connectipedia.org - which is “a shared learning community for anyone interested in advancing the knowledge and efforts of those working for the common good.” It is like a wiki because all members can contribute to the content, but it goes beyond a wiki by providing a dynamic and revolutionary way to create connections toward advancing the “common good.” The (open-source) software used to create it – Wagn – is describe on the Wagn website - http://wagn.org/wagn/Wagn.org - as “a wiki you query, an on-the-fly community database, a templating system, an application platform, and a playground .... all in one.” This resource has a tremendous amount of potential – but that potential can only be realized by the degree that people working toward the common good use it. So, I hope you will check out http://connectipedia.org and pass the information on to others who may be interested. Jeff Mascornick
