Description
There have been several projects in the open-source movement to develop "open" encyclopedias, where literally all human knowledge would be described, commented upon, and edited by a community of dedicated vounteers. Everything2 is one such effort; the WikiPedia is another.
These projects are vast and impressive, but I couldn't help but think that their ambitions outstripped their capabilities. After all, "Everything" is a lot of stuff. And who is to say what level of granularity Everything is to include? A perfect map of the world is useless because it is the exact same size as the world itself.
So I thought to myself, wouldn't the same philosophy work much better on a more tightly defined subject with more motivated editors? And weren't New York-related books, documentaries, movies being popped-out like Eggo waffles? Thus, the idea of Everything New York was born.
