vinismo! wiki wine compendium

July 25, 2007 in friendsprojects, montreal, openmovement by Hugh

from montreal pals evan and niko, comes vinismo.com:

vinismo

Vinismo is a project to create a free, complete, up-to-date, and reliable guide of all wines in the world. It uses the Wiki technology that lets people like you freely create and modify its pages.

Two comments:
-this is graphically the best looking wiki i’ve ever seen (meaning it doesn’t look like a wiki).
-this is the kind of targeted use of wiki technology that just makes good sense (bite sized info about a topic that people are passionate about, in a format that is useful).

Third comment: go play … they have doine a great job, but as with all open projects they need users to help it evolve into a useful tool.

Fourth: go vote for it on digg if you’re into that sort of thing.
