Couldn’t help but wonder whether you’d heard of our Future Melbourne wiki, the City of Melbourne’s collaborative website designed to facilitate the development of the city’s next 10 year strategic plan.

Our public consultation period is scheduled to run until 14 June, 2008. During this time, anybody, anywhere in the world can logon to read, discuss or even directly edit the content of the draft city plan.

As far as we can tell, this is the first time that a local government has used wiki technology on this scale to enable anyone to engage directly with a city plan.

Discussion pages sit behind every topic in the wiki and we encourage rigorous debate. An integrated Groups function enables those with similar interests to co-ordinate their activities. A creative Future Scenarios section encourages people to collaboratively edit, discuss or create their own creative visions of the future.

As it seems we’re heading in the general direction that your post appears to advocate, we’d love if you could drop us a visit and let us know what you think. Would love to have the calibre of discussion above applied to the Future Melbourne wiki!

Thanks again for a thoroughly engaging read.
