Hello, everyone. This is the New Orleans Wiki. It was used in the wake of Katrina to capture information that was streaming by in various dicussion forums.
Now, we're using it to compile articles about New Orleans, and the rebirth of New Orleans. It has always been a project that focused on New Orleans' communities.
There are some very active sections of the Wiki. Mid City is receiving a lot of development, and there are histories for many Neighborhoods.
You can get started by taking an item off of the To Do List.
