About Waihekepedia
Waihekepedia, the very site you are on, was established in August, 2007 as an online repository for verifiable information about all things Waiheke. Using the same contributory software as the more famous wikipedia,Waihekepedia was the brainchild of islanders Charles and Nikki Graves before being developed by a group of commuters who sit at the same (often noisy) table on the 7.20am ferry to Auckland.
Steve Keate uploaded and installed the MediaWiki software on to Openmynd server running Plesk. Bruce Davis-Goff fine tuned the MediaWiki software and Naomi Grinter created the logo. Editorial direction comes from Greg Treadwell. We see ourselves as being guardians of this project. We are also on the lookout for admins to help us police and maintain the neutrality of Waihekepedia.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we have creating it and watching it grow.
