Welcome to sunny Portland! PortlandWiki is an up-and-coming city wiki for Portland, Oregon that you are invited to contribute to! A city wiki (or civic wiki) is a website about a town, city or region that is built and maintained by its community. PortlandWiki welcomes content contributions and editorial assistance from anyone interested in building an outstanding knowledge base and community resource for the Rose City. PortlandWiki aims to represent the "Voice of Portland" by providing a citizen-generated news and information resource, a knowledge "hub" and historical archive for Portland, Oregon and our surrounding region. This project is new and encourages your participation! So what are you waiting for? Start typin' and add your voice: register an account, explore, and add anything you think is useful. You can also click "edit" to make improvements without logging in, if you like. Then come back often and see what others have added. PortlandWiki grows and thrives with your input. You are invited to participate in one of our PortlandWiki "edit parties" every Monday evening. Check out our Monday Meets page to find out when and where you can attend the next one. As participation grows in size and diversity, PortlandWiki becomes more interesting, useful and fun! PortlandWiki turns one year old on September 28, 2010. By contributing to this web site, you have a wonderful opportunity to add your "voice" to this unique community resource. We look forward to building this wiki with you! Getting together with others to work on PortlandWiki is a great way to discuss contribution ideas, get help with figuring out "wiki text," and have fun! We also discuss PortlandWiki at WikiWednesdays, which are also free and open to anyone. Come on by and join PortlandWiki's unique community of knowledge resource builders! Tell us how you found out about PortlandWiki!
