localism: Localism Introduction - 07/13/08 02:04 PM
I like C's words in a comment best: "You are about to embark on a huge great breaking adventure" I also like the way C compared writing posts for Localism to writing articles for Wikipedia. Great metaphor! "wiki-pedia" ... and Localism's logo: "neighbor-pedia"
