Involved in more wikis than I care to think about ...
I've lived on Waiheke Island for about 4 years now. I do a show on Beach Radio called Country Mike's Hauraki Hoedown on Monday nights from 8-10pm and am very involved in the radio station itself. Check out our blog: http://waihekeradio.blogspot.com for more information on the radio.
I've been working on wikis for a long time and I am currently on the Board of Advisors for a large wiki called WikiEducator which aims at building capacity around the MediaWiki platform (the software that runs this site as well as Wikipedia) for developing Open Educational Resources. I designed the WikiEducator front page, community portal page, help page, and introductory -wiki tutorials. I also do a bit with the Wikiversity community, here: http://en.wikiversity.org/ a project sponsored by the Wikimedia foundation.
Earlier this year I attended the Techtonic Shift Think Tank in Vancouver, a meeting between MediaWiki developers and educators from all over the world to look at how to move the MediaWiki platform forward for the betterment of educators and students worldwide.
I also run http://auckland.wiki.org.nz a City Wiki for Auckland and http://greymatter.co.nz where I provide wiki and blog hosting, consultation and services around using technology for collaboration.
On the island I also do site design and consultation from here: http://www.digitalsynapse.co.nz where I have recently done work on the Emma Hughes Photography Blog, the Hey Dads web site, and helped out with the Jassy Dean Trust site.
The most important thing to remember about wikis is that the good ones are about community, not web pages - and sustaining community in these things is really the trick. Waihekepedia could be a fantastic resource for the community in many ways that we're not even anticipating currently.
