Columbia City's Neighbor News

05 Oct 2011 18:51 Welcome to Week 163 of the Columbia Citizens' Wiki

Whatsa Wikli? ▼

The Citizens' Wikli is the informal e-flyer of Columbia Citizens. In one space, on one page, it pulls together the neighborhood's news, alerts, events, and discussion, drawing from what neighbors bring to the site.

Any Citizen can contribute Wikli items, and any Citizen can edit them. Read more...

And it comes together just about every week. It's our "weekly wiki" — the Wikli.

How does this work? ▼

When does the Wikli come together? All week long — Citizens can post to the site anytime. Most Tuesday nights we tie up the loose ends, so on Wednesday mornings Citizens get an alert via email, facebook, or twitter, which invites hundreds of local readers to check out the week's updates.

How do I post to the Wikli? We've got a "how-to" for that.

Is there a Wikli archives? Sure, right here.
