Announcing the New FreeUTOPIA Wiki
Posted by Jesse under Website
Part of the biggest problem with UTOPIA advocacy is a lack of coordinating basic information. To that end, I've setup a new wiki to track information about UTOPIA including the positions of legislators, which cities are considering service and, for the 2008 election cycle, where candidates stand on municipal broadband and other telecommunications issues.
Anyone can participate and add their knowledge. User registration and admin approval will be required before you can contribute in order to prevent spam and defacing. Why not go ahead and register an account so you can help build it up?

While I’m all about Being Bold on wikis, carving my niche on a blank main page seems a bit _too_ bold.
I would very much like to see an “Information Requested” page; there’s a great deal that I’d like to know about UTOPIA (and have persisted on the wiki).

MediaWiki has a built-in Wanted Pages function that’s a list of pages linked to that have not yet been created. You could also create a Talk page on Wanted Pages (it’s located under Special pages) to request that something be setup on a specific topic.

This is a very good idea.
Hope it continues to grow.
