This document discusses the founding and growth of Wikilogia, which started as a belief that dreams of access, community development, and contributing to humanity were closer than ever due to emerging trends in collaboration and open source. Wikilogia wrote the first Arabic collaborative encyclopedia on these topics and helped diverse interest groups and communities emerge. After two years of operating a weekly hackerspace, Wikilogia has built a promising model for local community development, but faces challenges in continuing growth and sustainability.
