What kind of stuff do you want for this?
Places to go, events, service stations where you can and can't take a leak?
What direction? (Apart from 'any' :)

Sounds good to me. Basically this wiki will be a resource for anyone in Brisbane, and people new to Brisbane.
I figure we can cover any special interest groups, historical locations, as well as services. Users are encouraged to contribute any knowledge they possess on any and every topic relating to Brisbane!
I'm really new to wikis, but my fiance Nick knows a whole lot more. You'll have to forgive anything that I post in error, or any mistakes I make!

- What tone are we aiming for here? Are we trying to a be no-nonsense reference document or are we allowed to bring in a community feeling and personality to articles? Should we be writing everything in third person with NPOV? - BeX 20:35, 16 August 2007 (EST)
- I've been wondering this myself. Whilst we want to provide good information and factual content, there should probably be a little more community feeling to it. If it was about a subject where we could be completely NPOV then sure, we can go down this path. But some of the information will be based more on opinion (like when suggesting good resturants). I guess the bonus with a wiki structure is that the opinion will end up being based on concensus (if revert wars are put out before they get bad). super_nicko (T•C) 20:59, 16 August 2007 (EST)
