This site was created in March 2009 by Daniel X. O’Neil. Basically, it is an experiment in civic information & participation focused on a subject that is dear to me– archiving the city as we move through it and make decisions about it.

Most of what you need to know in order to use this site and the services around it can be found in the right-hand column of every page. Here is a detailed take on how I created this stuff. Hopefully it can be a model for other non-programmer types like me to make community sites based on data.
