Welcome to the Westwood Wiki

Update, June 2009: This site was the precursor to WestwoodBlog. Much of the content is old and the idea didn't take off as I'd hoped, while the blog become more popular. However, the idea of a wiki is to promote collaborative writing and I'm going to try again...perhaps our Ped/Bike Saftety Committee can use this to brainstorm ideas? To that end, I'm starting a page here:

PedestrianAndBikeSafety

What is a Wiki?

A wiki is a website you can edit. To learn how to edit these pages, check out DavesWikiTutorial.

Why a Westwood Wiki?

The purpose of this site is to provide an online resource that will be built and maintained collaboratively by town residents. For examples of other communities that have wikis, see:

• Dedham
• Davis, CA
• Toronto, Canada
• Omaha, NE
• Rochester, NY

Let's start with topics for

• RecreationActivities - thing to do in Westwood and resources
• ChildrenAndFamily - a top level topic for all things related to children and families
