Gobblerpedia has been online since Friday, February 11th, 2011. It was initially populated with content from the [[Linux and Unix Users Group at Virginia Tech Wiki]] and [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]].
==History==
The idea for an online encyclopedia of [[free information]] for [[Hokie|Hokies]] was initially floated within the [[Free Culture]] chapter at Virginia Tech during 2009 or earlier. Original content was slowly amassed on the LUUG Wiki in preparation for some time. Thanks to funding for a server from the [[Student Engineers' Council]] and member contributions for the domain, the [[Linux and Unix Users Group]] put together the necessary infrastructure in the fall of 2010 and spring of 2011 to finally launch <code>gobblerpedia.org</code>.
==Naming==
==Competition==
During the fall of 2010, there was talk that the Student Government Association would be launching a wiki. The status of their project is currently unknown. The ViaTalk broadband phone system has a wiki hosted at <code>vtwiki.org</code>.
