I've received positive and encouraging responses to my "grow your own" post in both the comments and in my inbox, so I decided to throw up a wiki on my site dedicated to local (relative to wherever you are, I suppose) edible wild foods.

Here's the link: wildfood wiki

Feel free to post your own thoughts, links to good resources, tips, cooking ideas, whatever.

I've been having an idea for an Olympia city wiki floating around in my head for a while; while on tour, I decided to do some research and see how hard it would be to make one. Well, turns out the folks at Davis wiki (the largest English-speaking city wiki) have already expanded their wiki server to be used for any purpose, and, being totally inspired by their wiki, I set up an Olympia wiki: olywiki.

This could become an incredible community resource, allowing anyone to access specific information about local culture, businesses, politics, events, activism, and more, always in a contextual environment. It's really bare-bones right now but with your help, it could be amazing, and it could serve the entire community, whether you're an activist, a business owner, a secretary, a musician, or anyone else with an interest in local affairs.

Right now, the URL is oly.wikispot.org but I'd be willing to shell out some cash for a catchier domain and attach it to the wiki, if a lot of people show interest.

What do you all think?
