Since I decided to open a local coworking space I've been researching for the history of coworking in order to share it with investors. I think it will be cool to have all of that accurately on the wikipedia page of coworking.
I'm a wikipedia editor though not very active this last year so I can help with the text or with editing. The key here is to point to published sources of that. I remember a video of Brad Neuberg where he states he opened a coworking space on the Spiral Muse house. Glad to help in making the new text and I guess the most trusted editor in here can enter it on wikipedia, to avoid the usual politics there :) Jorge On 28 nov, 13:47, Tara Hunt <[email protected]> wrote: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking > > Usually I wouldn't point this out, but wikipedia is supposed to be the > authority.
