>From the group description:

Join us if you are interested in contributing ideas and/or technical

> residents with an instant snapshot of neighborhood events and destinations.

We envision a searchable map that captures local, underground events and
> places not found in more regional maps and events calendars.  The map will
> serve as a visual compilation of neighborhood-specific information shared
> via the online community forums, public calendars, and directly via the
> map  (eg. game night at the coffee house, a backyard puppet show, community
> meetings, volunteer park clean up, free libraries, CSA drop off locations,
> etc.).



Our hope is the map will illustrate the richness of stuff going on in the
> community and encourage more gatherings and participation. While the Union
> Park District Council neighborhoods in St. Paul are our pilot 
> area<http://e-democracy.org/up>,
> the goal is to build something that can easily be extended to other areas.
