'''Background'''<br/> This project grew out of a October 2016 discussion on the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/yimbytown YIMBY Town] mailing list (US national Yimby email list/forum): "[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/yimbytown/qUBbHOczybk The Opposition in Portland has Arrived]" (subsequently moved to "[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/yimbytown/71H8zBXFnI0 YIMBY knowledgebase/wiki (was The Opposition in Portland..)]. in October 2016.
However, as noted in thread, there have been various previous discussions about idea, and prior related efforts such as the YIMBY Sweden's [http://yimby.wikia.com/wiki/Yimby_Wiki YIMBY Wiki] (see also [https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http://yimby.wikia.com/wiki/Yimby_Wiki&edit-text=&act=url English version via Google Translate]), and the [https://www.reddit.com/r/SFBARF/wiki/faq SFBARF FAQ] created by San Francisco Bay Area Renters Federation) on Reddit. In 2014, San Francisco housing-finance expert (and SFYIMBY friend!) Fay Darmawi suggested a "HousingWiki" in her article [http://www.housingfinance.com/policy-legislation/how-affordable-housing-can-make-a-name-for-itself-and-why_o "How Affordable Housing Can Make a Name for Itself (and Why)]”
<br/> on YIMBY Town list, Mike Schiraldi (San Francisco) wrote: <br/> ''"I don't want to get off on too much of a tangent, but one of the reasons it's so exciting to see nationwide YIMBY collaboration is that we can jointly build up a body of answers to frequent objections (both good-faith and bad-faith)....Any suggestions as to what sort of storage system might work for such a knowledgebase?"''
