We are not alone.

We are not alone.

Whilst there are quite a few Public Sector Knowledge Sharing Initiatives already in existence, until recently the Local Government & Municipal Knowledge Base, was the only one that was;

1. Local Government focused
2. Open
3. Trying to build an encyclopedic knowledge base for Local Government

BUT, as of yesterday, we are not alone.

Munigov an online community for US Local Government employees has just set up a wiki aimed at "allowing local governments to pool their knowledge in an effort to collaborate and share ideas, practices, policies, standards, and experiences". Those stated aims are very similar to ours.

I am hopeful that the Munigov Local Government Wiki will become a very good resource for local governments in the USA and around the world. I'll be supporting it as much as I can and I am hopeful that both sites will be able to learn from each other and prosper into the future.

I had a look at this Wiki - very early days - not much content. It will be interesting to see how it builds. I joined as a member of the Wiki and seems like I am # 3.
However looking at the Munigov web site (not the Wiki) they seems to be a reasonably large organisation (I assume a bit like IPWEA).

It will be interesting to watch this site and see how it progresses.
