Pre-meetup discussion
Bahudhara has met with a number of organisations, including Port of Adelaide branch of the National Trust, Port Adelaide Historical Society, Woodville Historical Society, Port Adelaide Residents Environment Protection Group, which have shown varying levels of interest. He has also met with the president of the Gawler Local History Group, which operates the Gawler Now and Then wiki.
Other PoANT members have raised the project with the Port Adelaide University of the Third Age, where there is some interest.

- Port Adelaide Enfield Local History - a new addition to the Council's website, using a GIS-style map interface with historical aerial photography and maps to geolocate the local library's collection of around 2,000 historic photos. The launch of the website was reported in the Portside Messenger as "Story map of Port Adelaide Enfield's colourful past an Australian-first" on 20 August 2014.

Reports and comments
Although the event has been listed for some time, the actual details were only posted a short time beforehand, so attendance was poor. However a useful discussion did take place about progressing the setting up of the Port Adelaide wiki, and about Wikipedia editing in general.
Outcomes
Bahudhara will continue to talk to interested parties about the proposed Port Adelaide wiki.
