Case Study: FreeNursingHomeReports.com
2008-04-03
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...
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 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."
