Wiki Wednesdays are events for people interested and excited about Wiki software and the communities that use it. People get together to chat, learn about wikis, find jobs, talk deals and generally cavort. Wiki Wednesdays in Portland, Oregon are generally held the first Wednesday of each month. Everyone, from the expert to the merely curious, are welcome.
Come join us in Portland, the birthplace of wikis!
PortlandWiki planning and development can now be found at the wiki itself.

We're taking WikiWednesday meetup space suggestions! Please give us your input.
UPDATE: Mark Dilley informs us that a number of folks have requested that we hold our weekly meetings at one or another of each of the following locations:
- AboutUs | 107 SE Washington Street, Suite 520 | Portland, Oregon 97214
- Ace Hotel | 1022 SW Stark Street | Portland, OR 97205
- Backspace Cafe | 115 Northwest 5th Avenue | Portland, OR 97209
Meyer Memorial Trust | 425 NW 10th Avenue, Suite 400 | Portland, OR 97209- Looks like MMT ain't gonna happen.
Blitz Pearl | 110 Northwest 10th Avenue Portland | OR 97209- Blitz Pearl no longer viable venue: loud televisions.
Maybe on months with a 5th Wednesday, we can pick a lucky venue in a random drawing. Just a thought...
