Welcome to the Occupy Boston Wiki!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:' Due to the rapid growth we need to ensure that this wiki can scale with the OccupyBoston Movement and continue to serve as a collaborative space and archive. As a result, we will be changing the underlying software of the wiki and changing the web address so that it is hosted on our own servers (occupyboston.org) and not a third-party host like wikispaces. We will lock the wiki for editing on Sunday morning, October 23rd, in order to migrate all of the data to the new system. The plan is to have the wiki up and running by Sunday evening or Monday at the latest. We will post updates with information and help migrating over to the wiki. If you would like to be involved in the process please join the #OccupyBostonIT IRC channel on [http:chat.indymedia.org// http:chat.indymedia.org//]

We maintain this wiki to promote the transparent and participatory nature of the Occupy Boston movement. The wiki and Occupy Boston rely on every individual's contributions. Please Join Us!
