Monmouthpedia will be the first Wikipedia project to cover a whole town, creating articles on interesting and notable places, people, artefacts, flora, fauna and other things in Monmouth in as many languages as possible including Welsh. We would love for the business owners in town to be involved in the project.
One way you can participate is take part in the professions trail (a working title) by displaying free Qrpedia code stickers in the window of your shop. A QR code is a kind of bar code your phone can read through it's camera which takes you to a Wikipedia page using free software. The codes will be individual to each business showing the Wikipedia article of the history of your profession (e.g bookseller, baker, etc) and possibly a code of your products (e.g books, bread, meat etc). The QRpedia system was used at Derby Museum, you can watch a video explaining it at http://vimeo.com/28583289
