Wiki transition!
Please be patient with us (OBIT) as we work to make this the best possible collaborative space for Occupy Boston. We're working to get as much of the data from the old wikispaces site to this one, to allow us to be in control of our own content. Please be aware though, that importing data from the wikispaces will not result in an exact carbon copy of the old pages.
