One of WikiFOIA's goals is "to build a comprehensive and collaborative How To Guide to provide very practical information about open records requests at the state and local level."
Features include:
- A primer for novices
- Sunshine Troublemaker of the Week
- Interviews with Sunshine Activists
- Hot button issues
There's a page for each state, which include links to open records laws, contacts, stories about local freedom of information battles, and blogs, web sites and other state resources related to open records. Here's Kentucky's page, and the page for Indiana. If you find any of the information inadequate, it's your fault, because you can contribute, and you're encouraged to adopt your state.
The founder, Leslie Graves, who goes by the online name "Maverick," works for a Wisconsin non-profit called the Lucy Burns Institute.

Thanks for the WikiFOIA write up. In the interest of full disclosure, I should let you know that Leslie Graves is actually the writer of the State Sunshine and Open Records blog, founder of the Lucy Burns Institute -- and Maverick's boss!
Sorry about that. I misinterpreted the link to the blog.
Well, we do work together -- she writes the blog, and I keep an eye on the wiki.
