Topic: Wikipedia and Localpedia

Wikipedia has a common and pretty straightforward object for the community to work on, articles. It is well understood, everybody can participate and read.

Locality: localpedia entries are normally pretty local, this means the knowledge needed to edit such items is often limited to a local community. Reviews of a restaurant has to be written and edited by people who have actually eaten there at least once. Whereas in Wikipedia, everybody on the globe has the knowledge to modify an article about Da Vin Ci, if he knows what he is doing.

Dynamic: localpedia entries are typically dynamic, whereas Wikipedia articles are relatively static once they are created. The special meals of a restaurant change from time to time. The merchandise catalog in a grocery store changes from time to time.

So the object that the Localpedia community is working on are basically applications, applications that are simple to create collaboratively while more powerful and user friendly than plan HTML pages. We need a framework allowing programmers to code the app, editors to write the content, and designers to draw the beautiful UI.
