==Inspirations==
* Although Teampedia has no direct affiliation with the [http://wikimedia.org/ WikiMedia Foundation], or their project [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia - the free online encylopedia], this project was heavily inspired by both.
* Most of the initial teambuilding activities on Teampedia were inspired by activities used at [http://www.cityyear.org City Year] (the nation's largest [http://www.americorps.org AmeriCorps] program).
* The Teampedia logo was inspired by the [http://www.vanderbilt.edu/pgcc/newpgcc.htm Vanderbilt University Portable Group Challange Challenge Course] logo.
