The Albany Project is very excited to announce the launch of TAPopedia, project very much inspired by both dalyKos’ dKosopedia and SSP’s own race tracker wiki. It’s a heck of an ambitious project and we’re gonna need all the help we can get to turn this into a useful resource for everyone.
Here’s the announcement as it was posted at the albany project:
Introducing TAPopedia!
We here at the albany project are very excited to announce the launch of a new wiki dedicated solely to New York politics. We feel that this tool can fill a very large gap and can, with your help, become a very powerful resource bloggers, journalists and, most importantly, for the citizens of New York.
We’ve built the skeleton, now we need to flesh it out. that’s where you come in.
It’s a wiki, so it will take time and and it will require the participation of plenty of folks to make it into what we hope it can be. We invite everyone to participate and hope you will consider adopting your Senate and/or Assembly districts, your reps, your whatever and pour your knowledge into this project. The wiki will be as good and as useful as we can make it.
Having all this data in one place in an ever growing, searchable pile has a lot of potential in our view.
We are also in the process of working up prototypes of some pretty sophisticated GIS maps that we hope to add soon. This stuff will blow you away.
Let’s build something amazing, people.
You in?

The more folks we can get involved with this thing, the better mousetrap we will build. We can use everyone’s help and I so hope you’ll want to come out and play as well
There’s code for a button at the site, if you are so inclined.
Forward!
