Last Tuesday, Portland, Oregon saw the launch of a new wiki by Meyer Memorial Trust.

Marie Deathridge, Director of Communications and Learning, explained that MMT wanted to share resources within the foundation but was questioned why this information should be kept within the organization's walls. The goal became to help other organizations openly share knowledge.

What was created is more than just a wiki: it is an integrated non-linear tool for foundations, nonprofits, and citizens to share information and connect around People, Places, and Things. It goes by the name of connec+ipedia. As Amy Sample Ward, NTEN Member, fellow Portland cohort, and MMT Communications & Learning Associate says, "connec+ipedia is, in my opinion, an awesome new tool that will change the way many people think of wikis."
