PORTLANDWIKI BARNRAISING EVENT!
Public Invited To Help Build Portland's Knowledge Commons
February 26, 2011 | Portland, OR -- Portland Wiki is a City Wiki for Portland, Oregon. So what's a city wiki? A city (or civic) wiki is a collaborative website for citizens of a particular town, city or region that serves as a knowledge base or information hub for the community. It is where citizens contribute news and information about their town or neighborhood. Think of a city wiki (or civic wiki) as the "Wikipedia" for a particular community.
PortlandWiki welcomes participation from all Portlandians, and anyone else interested in building an outstanding community resource for the Rose City. In fact, your participation is so ardently welcomed that you're invited to our...
| PortlandWiki Barnraising Event!
PortlandWiki's Barnraising event is where you help decide which improvements to PortlandWiki are most urgently needed, and then help make them. Share what you know about Portland as we build a community wiki for this great town! Refreshments happily provided.

A Little Bit About PortlandWiki
People contribute to PortlandWiki because it's fun and enables folks in our community to share their knowledge, interests and passions. PortlandWiki is not just another outlet to post the public relations profile on behalf of some faceless company or organization. That said, neighborhood businesses and local organizations are strongly encouraged to share information about what they do.
PortlandWiki hopes to evolve into the "Swiss army knife" of news, information, community resources, historical archives for Portland and the greater Portland community. The information-rich resource hub PortlandWiki contributors bring to life can serve as a constantly updating, organic, people-powered knowledge base that is open, accessible, useful and available to everyone.
PortlandWiki is not meant to take the place of the rich tapestry of community based information resources already available to Portlandians, but to act as a robust, fluid and evolving community powered directory to those resources. Within that framework PortlandWiki hopes to spawn collaborative communities of contributors who find value in reaching beyond the information silos they may normally operate within. It's exciting to watch vibrant and new collaborative communities spring up as a result!
This coming Fall, PortlandWiki will celebrate its second birthday. In less than a year and a half, volunteers have made 25,406 editorial contributions, creating 6,071 pages, of which 1,686 are content articles (the other pages are tutorial, administrative or other internal pages). 491 people have obtained their own PortlandWiki account, of which 1 have made recent content contributions.
Folks in our community have a wonderful opportunity to significantly add their voices and insights to this unique community resource. We look forward to building this wiki with you!
