#30 The Japan-related Web: The Future. Japanopedia

These next three posts are about innovative sites that are changing Japan-related content on the web. There may be several other sites that also deserve a mention when talking about innovators, but I have chosen these three and I believe they have enormous potential.

They are Japanopedia, Japan-hopper, and JapanSoc.

First Japanopedia.

Japanopedia is a wiki project hosted by wikia.com which is from the creators of wikipedia. The great thing about it being hosted by wikia is they maintain all of the software and hardware. Also it means that none of the contributors really "own" the site. That is a plus because it makes the site something central, that anyone can use or contribute to. 

Some of the main goals of the project are to:

- Create a thorough "Japan survival guide"

- Create a database with short descriptions of as many Japan-related sites as possible

- Promote Japanopedia as a cental location where people can discuss and organise Japan-related projects

The project has just started so please forgive its ugly appearance (you should have see it a month ago)!

Also, from now through February a project to help JapanSoc is being showcased on Japanopedia. There is a section on the wiki explaining JapanSoc and organising contributors around a plan to submit an article to JapanSoc from every blog on a list of 140+ Japan-blogs.
