Local Wikipedia project covers only what's within a half-hour walk
Original: Local Wikipedia: Wikipedia, but only for things a half hour walk from you
A new project called Local Wikipedia, created by Ed Jefferson, limits its content to places, businesses and landmarks within roughly a half-hour walk of the reader. The site draws on the Wikipedia format but swaps global scope for hyperlocal detail about the immediate neighbourhood. It is attracting wide attention online, with readers discussing the appeal of mapping knowledge at a walkable scale.
Why now: The novelty of shrinking Wikipedia's encyclopedia format to a hyperlocal, walkable radius has struck a chord with people interested in local history and neighbourhood knowledge.
