Talk:Public participation geographic information system

[Untitled]
It may be time to revise and expand the article(s) and discussion of this subject. The field seems to be evolving significantly so there is need both for documentation of its history and provisions for its ongoing changes. I added the subheading "External links" with a link to what was apparently a key early event (link seen on the PPGIS list). Other links may be appropriate. It may also be worthwhile to remove the redirect on Participatory GIS if indeed the meanings of that and PPGIS are diverging. --A12n 13:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Public participation GIS and participatory GIS
Can anyone tell me, succinctly, what the difference between "public participation GIS" and "participatory GIS" is? It seems to me that the two articles should be merged, with a section in the new, merged article devoted to the debate. LateralMoraine (talk) 19:27, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
