Civicwiki needs the help of volunteers. The few sponsors of CW do not have sufficiently deep pockets to pay for all of the work needed to get CW working as it should - and we are not set up to accept donations of money. For now, we would like to keep CW a product of volunteers and what basic development the sponsors can afford to pay for. When this project was started, none of the sponsors had any web/wiki site development expertise. So, a good way to help is by donating your expertise and time in that regard.
There is a list of relatively simple site development tasks to be done. If you have an understanding of wiki and web sites in general and Mediawiki in particular, we need your help. This site is based on Mediawiki and Semantic Mediawiki.
- We know how the site should be structured - for the most part. In a few things, we will figure it out when we bump our nose on it.
- We would value any suggestions on how to structure the site.
- To get CW started, we are using Wikipedia as the model - except that we also use Semantic Mediawiki.
- We would greatly value your donation of Mediawiki exptertise and programming.
- Some tasks may simply be to provide instruction to our sponsor team on the best way for a website beginner to construct CW site infrastructure using Mediawiki.
To volunteer to help with site development, contact us
- And, of course, an excellent way to help is to write and edit civic information content for CW.
