"start a wiki where interested folks like myself can contribute to the
technical design"
uh - how bout our wiki -
http://www.civicaccess.ca/wiki ? i think
that's one of the things we created it for. unless I'm missing
something and there's a reason for it to be attached to another wiki?
I would suggest making a /Projects page - and putting it there? Of
course that doesn't mean that anyone from this group has any say over
the project - but at least this way we can easily keep an eye on it?
It would be a good experience for everyone to see what's involved in
creating a technical civic info project.
