 Civicwiki needs the help of those interested in adding content and helping to develop the site.  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.

 ==Help with site development==
 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.
