I don’t have time to finish as of yet, but I have a draft sitting in a browser window that looks something like this. I merged your initial text with William Wong’s upcoming talk description. I think the layout should be like:

General Description (no heading, the usual Wikipedia-ish description)

Tools and Services: describe server as well as the mobile clients, this can be cribbed from the github description

(maybe a “Reach” or “Implemenations” section here?)

History: I didn’t add anything here, just grabbed what was already in the stub:

Also, for the reviewers, this page would round out references to OBA that already exist on multiple wikipedia pages, notably:

/info/en/?search=King_County_Metro “An early project called MyBus by the University of Washington (UW) utilized the tracking data to provide real-time bus information. This is now hosted by Metro under the name Tracker. An improved version of MyBus called OneBusAway, developed by UW graduate students Brian Ferris and Kari Watkins, combines Tracker information with Google Maps. OneBusAway continued to be maintained by the University of Washington Department of Computer Science, until a new nonprofit organization was founded to house and administer it in 2019”


/info/en/?search=Civic_technology

OneBusAway, a mobile app that displays real-time transit info, exemplifies the open data use of civic technology. It is maintained by volunteers and has the civic utility of helping people navigate their way through cities. It follows the idea that technology can be a tool for which government can act as a society-equalizer.
