Welcome

Just like the Triangle Wiki, our "community" is wide open, and anyone can join. And there are lots of ways to get involved. You might already have ideas for new pages, or just want to learn more about the wiki, etc.  You can start by meeting the Triangle Wiki community team members in the Wiki Discussion Group on Facebook.
