2008-05-09In The News: Human Services Council in Jacksonville Florida
The Human Services Council website for Jacksonville, Florida was recently featured in a The Florida Times-Union story titled City Issues: Seeing the Human Side. From the story:
Did you know that 100,000 Duval County residents lack health insurance? Or
that an estimated 3,800 Duval youths between the ages of 12 to 17 are
homeless? Like most of us, probably not. But these are the insights you
can gain through a new Web site from the Human Services Council of
Jacksonville, which consists of major public agencies and private
groups that fund services for people.
Featured Site: Seeds of Compassion Wiki
2008-04-07
The Seeds of Compassion conference being held this week in Seattle is using EditMe to host a wiki for the event participants. The conference is "a 5-day gathering to engage the hearts and
minds of our community by
highlighting the vision, science, and programs of early social,
emotional, and cognitive learning." His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
will be participating at the event both as a speaker and panelist with
leading educators, researchers and policy makers. Dave Matthews and Tim
Reynolds will also be there to perform. The conference was met with an
overwhelming response and, after selling all available tickets, is now
extending its reach with broadcasts and web feeds. Read the full post...
In The News: Community Planning Wiki - Plan for Afton
TwinCities.com has highlighted the EditMe site planforafton.editme.com in an article released yesterday. The site was built to collect community input on the Afton Comprehensive Plan - a document outlining a vision and strategy for the Minnesota suburb by Community Growth Institute. The article quotes Community Growth Institute President Charles Marohn: "This is the most democratic way we could find to allow everyone with a thought or idea to add it to the discussion going on to shape Afton's vision for the future." The article continues:
It made sense to test the Wiki concept in Afton because the city's population is largely connected online, is passionate about their community and "a little burned out from a history of poor planning processes," Marohn said. "I'm optimistic this will give residents the opportunity they are looking for to really take control and guide the future of their city."

Case Study: FreeNursingHomeReports.com
Our latest case study highlights a customer that embarked on a
significant custom development project with EditMe. This site uses
government data about nursing homes as the starting point for a nursing
home reports wiki. The site allows visitors - including nursing home
operators, patients and family members - to register on the site and
update nursing home reports with photos, comments and other
information. The custom development piece included importing the
nursing home data, generating the profiles and providing a custom
editing screen that prompts the user for specific profile information.
The sheer breadth of data on this site is impressive. If you live in
the U.S., chances are this site has a list of nursing homes in your
home town. And with well over 15,000 pages, this site now takes the
first place for biggest EditMe site. Read the full case study...
