BufWiki is a community edited site about Buffalo, NY. While we don't allow anonymous editing, we do allow anyone to sign up, and once they have an ID, they can add content to their hearts desire. BufWiki is written and maintained collaboratively by volunteers, and was partially inspired by Rochester Wiki.
