== Metamaps
Metamaps is a free and open source technology for changemakers, innovators, educators and students. It enables individuals and communities to build and visualize their shared knowledge and unlock their collective intelligence. You can find out about more about the project at http://blog.metamaps.cc.
You can find a version of this software running at http://metamaps.cc, where the technology is being beta tested in a private beta, if you're not up to the task of running your own version.
Metamaps is created and maintained by a distributed, nomadic community comprised of technologists, artists and storytellers. You can get in touch with us at team@metamaps.cc or @metamapps on twitter.
