title: Introduction

Welcome to the the community wiki for the Nittany Valley.

Most websites you go to are static — you only read them. This is a very different place. Anyone can ["Help On Editing"  edit], contribute, change, and add pages to this site. It is owned and edited completely by the public that uses it. This means that you (yes '''you''' right there at your computer) completely own and can change almost any page on this Wiki. That also applies to all your neighbors and friends. The end result is a resource for the community written by the people who live in it every day. Since everybody has different interests and focuses in life, entries tend to be written and edited by people who have the most experience or interest in the subject.

What we are aiming for is a place to record local culture, places, history — everything! This is an experiment in community and a project that can be fruitful for years to come to both old and new in the Nittany Valley.

So, go grab your camera and find something! Write a review of your favorite place. Tell us about a nice thing to do on Tuesdays. Give us a picture of your street. The topics and room for exploration is endless, and we will hopefully record a little bit of what Nittany means for us, here.

What the wiki contains and means is up to ''you''. As a general rule you should contribute content you think will be helpful or insightful to others, but even this rule can be broken at times. Interesting things will stay, and bad contributions will pass with time. Never be afraid to try something new, to edit something, to make your voice heard.

This is our place, our resource, our voice.
