Maybe you’re tempted sometimes to blog about a favorite topic like politics, yoga classes, local artists or cycling routes, but don’t want to commit to writing on a frequent basis. Or perhaps you know a little about local history that’s in danger of being forgotten. The Triangle Wiki is the place where you can share your knowledge.
A resource for “inside knowledge” on the Triangle area.
A “wiki” is just an online, editable web site, developed collaboratively by a community of users, and this wiki focuses on the Triangle area. The goal is to become a resource for “inside knowledge” on the Triangle area. The Triangle has its fair share of successful websites with restaurant reviews, entertainment calendars, etc., but the information isn’t available in one place – and organizers believe there is a lot more to share.
Anyone can become a contributor of trianglewiki.org to add their knowledge of the Triangle. Contributors can provide written information, maps and photos on any topic that pertains to Raleigh, Durham and surrounding areas.
And you don’t have to be polished writer. Just create a “seed” page with some photos or a few short sentences, or expand upon the pages started by others. This article explains How Triangle Wiki works.
Are you ready to participate?
