@ryanvgates What technology are you using for this project? Also what is the issue?

[ryanvgates]

@ashwingadhave I know we discussed the answer to your question, but I'd like to recap for anyone else that has a similar question. The tech required for contributing to the Fort Lauderdale LocalWiki is primarily wysiwyg and html. There are opportunities for more technical work to contribute to the LocalWiki engine at it's repository.

We're looking for volunteers to help add, organize and aggregate information to the local wiki. Don't just copy from other sources, but links are great. Original content is even better. Check out https://localwiki.org/ftl/Contribute_to_FTL_Local_Wiki
