'''Welcome to PortlandWiki, a [[wikipedia:City wiki|city wiki]] for Portland, Oregon that [[PortlandWiki:Introduction|anyone can edit]].''' The aim is to provide a comprehensive reference for anything and everything in the Portland metropolitan area.  The project is very new and could use your help!  Poke around and if you want to help out: <span class="plainlinks">[http://portlandwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup register an account]</span> (no email required), 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.


'''You're meeting PortlandWiki in its infancy.''' It grows and thrives with your input, and with contributions from people like you. You are invited to participate in one of our PortlandWiki "edit parties" every Monday evening. Check out our [[PortlandWiki:Monday Meets|Monday Meets]] page to find out when and where you can attend the next one. 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 [[WikiWednesday]]s, which are also free and open to anyone. Come by!
