Institute of Community Studies

The Institute of Community Studies is a venerable organisation, quietly responsible for a plethora of British institutions like the Open University and the Consumers Association. A couple of months ago it was given a huge injection of new life with the appointment of Geoff Mulgan as it's new head.

I suggested immediately after his appointment that a powerful tool to help it along might be a public WiKi. By acting like a communal notebook, the many exciting new projects in genesis can be discussed and evolved, all in a transparent, easy to access fashion. So, with the help of some free hosting from Mythic Beasts, Geoff's been busy writing the core material to get the site started.

The upshot is this - today I'm very pleased to present you with the ICS WiKi. Please dive in, read and get involved - it all starts today.

Thanks for that. I checked it out (it was my first wiki). I'd like to talk about a few things (this, MySociety progress report, what next etc). Time for our next real face to face meeting?

Is it just me or does the ICS Wiki seem to have been taken over by spammers?

Hi

It diesn't seem to work. Scary error page. I'm trying to access it from behind the gsi so that could be it... but assuming it would be handy for people behind the gsi to read it, can you fix it?

Cheers
Jamie
