I wrote a post yesterday about Jane Jacobs’ legacy for online community, and concluded with a proposal for a tag-based memorial:

These still-early days of online community-building amount to explorations of the potential that Jacobs identified: the potential for supporting real human relationships with virtual ecosystems. And in a wonderful tribute to Jacobs’ continued influence, many of these experiments feed back into twenty-first century cities by providing new tools for supporting urban sustainability. I’ve bookmarked a few of my favorite examples on del.icio.us with the tag JaneJacobsArchive; I hope others will contribute their own examples of how the Internet can support the kinds of cities that Jacobs so eloquently advocated.

This idea of a tag-based memorial is kind of a online, populist equivalent to a festschrift — the academic tradition of compiling a volume of articles by different scholars in honor of a colleague’s retirement or passing. Has anyone come across any other examples of tag-based memorials or tributes? I’d be really curious to see others, and to find out what worked (or didn’t) in terms of getting folks to contribute.
