I was interested to read about the town of Monmouth.
The town has added a wi-fi network throughout the town, and has also been putting QR codes around the place which link through to articles about the buildings they are placed on.
This is helped by the town-wide wi-fi. I've been in a few places which had large scale wi-fi available: Geneva city centre had it, Brighton beaches have it, and so does large parts of Jedburgh where I stopped en route to the Scottish Borders a while back.
Monmouth is calling itself Wikiville
Daily Mail article and ITV News article has a bit more detail.
I suppose any town could do something similar with a little co-ordination.
Start with your own school. Does it have a Wikipedia entry ? Is it up to date ?
Why not create one....
