Both are based on the largest English language city wikis that the folks in Davis California and Rochester, New York have put together: http://www.daviswiki.org/ and http://RocWiki.org both of which you mention above.
Wikisauga just got launched and Torontopedia! is well into the seeding of pages stage, where entries are being created with an initial few sentences or a photo.
Both city wikis need all the help they can get.
Everyone is invited to improve the basic seed entries or better still, create their own pages for what they would like to see on Torontopedia!
Hi there Phillip,
Toronto and Mississauga now have their very own city wikis at
Both are based on the largest English language city wikis that the folks in Davis California and Rochester, New York have put together: http://www.daviswiki.org/ and http://RocWiki.org both of which you mention above.
Wikisauga just got launched and Torontopedia! is well into the seeding of pages stage, where entries are being created with an initial few sentences or a photo.
Both city wikis need all the help they can get.
Everyone is invited to improve the basic seed entries or better still, create their own pages for what they would like to see on Torontopedia!
Just like the ["Literature"] page ( http://www.Torontopedia.TYO.ca/Literature ) created this morning by ["Amy Lavender Harris"] ( http://www.torontopedia.tyo.ca/Users/alharris ) of Imagining Toronto.
Think of Torontopedia! as the people's guide to Toronto by Torontonians for Torontonians (and the occasional visitor).
Don't know what a wiki is or how it works? You can start with our introduction page:

If you're already hip to wikis, here's a page that needs a little tender loving care...

After that, we hope that you'll log in and edit your own userpage and start adding and editing other pages, we need all the help we can get!
