In only eleven years Wikipedia has grown from being the education resource that dare not speak its name to the universal arbiter of arguments in both pubs and staff rooms. This year has also seen the first County Council to partner Wikimedia to create the world's first Wikipedia Town: Monmouth a.k.a. Monmouthpedia. In one place we can see the real world matched up with its virtual counterpart, allowing people to play with augmented reality throughout an entire town. What new business models can emerge from this creation? Can British institution adapt to new ways of obtaining and sharing information? Is it possible that Wikipedia might partner a Government or "do" a whole city?
