PortlandWiki first sprang to life on Monday, September 28, 2009, and was officially launched in early October by an open group of wiki-minded folks at a weekly Portland Wiki Wednesday meetup. PortlandWiki is proud to be a service owned and operated by its community of contributors. We happily gift PortlandWiki to Portland's Community Commons, and encourage all who want to participate to join our community.
You (and a whole bunch of other people like you) are the builders, planners, and maintainers of the wiki. There is no formal leadership. The website domain and host are generously provided by Ray King and Dave Myers, assisted by you and others who help spread out the financial burden.
