We are creating ToledoWiki so that everyone can feel like a city insider via this digital liaison between the people, institutions and ideas of Toledo. By launching this dynamic digital space to freely share all local knowledge about Toledo, our hope is that ToledoWiki will show Toledoans and visitors the depth and breadth of community resources, people, institutions, and cultural attractions that would take a long time to locate and learn about on one's own.

ToledoWiki gives us the opportunity to capture community knowledge that is not presently available in any local or commercial website. LocalWiki's usable interface will not only help connect people with local services and programs but also allow those people to provide feedback about those services - information useful both to others in need and the service providers themselves. ToledoWiki will provide a space for Toledo hacktivists and others concerned with open data to meet and collaborate. It is our hope that ToledoWiki will be a repository of data offering insight, answers, and discussion to recurring questions, debates and the direction of Toledo's future.
