Columbia City's Neighbor News |
|---|
Welcome to Week III of the Columbia Citizens' Wikli
The Wikli is an informal e-flyer containing announcements and messages of interest to Columbia City neighbors. Anyone can contribute, and anyone can edit. This is a brand-new wiki feature, and any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
You can use the Wikli…
- to propose an idea for the neighborhood,
- to link to a blog,
- to introduce a new neighbor,
- to introduce yourself,
- to tell a local anecdote,
- to show a local photo,
- to announce an event,
- to editorialize,
- or to share any other neighborhood news.
The Wikli also features selected updates to the Columbia Citizens wiki.
To keep it concise, let's limit each new item to around 100 words. Less is more — if you need more, then it's time to create your own new wiki-page on the site and link to it here. Where appropriate, please include your name and any contact info.
About once a week, usually Wednesdays, we'll "freeze" the Wikli's content, move it to its own read-only page, and send an email alert. At first these alerts will go out to neighborhood email lists. Those memberships overlap — so in the interest of spam-reduction, soon it would be good to send the Wikli only to people who opt in. So please opt in.

Columbia Citizens wiki-updates:
| Two new photos in the Citizens' gallery. Quality over quantity. Add yours! |
 Cannot fetch Flickr photo (id: 1208699517). The photo either does not exist, or is private |
| Columbia Citizens: pioneers of the neighborhood wiki. Google "neighbor wiki", and we're second only to Fred Rogers' Wikipedia entry. But try "Columbia City, Seattle", and we're nowhere in sight. What's up with that?? Anyway, it'd be helpful to learn from other local wikis. If you find other successful examples out there, please share them here. In the meantime, be a part of wiki-history, and jump into this one. |
