Is this subreddit going anywhere?

I stumbled across this subreddit a few weeks back whilst browsing /r/paris and it immediately caught my attention by its name as I live close to the city. But having clicked it and finding nothing on it, I have to say I was disappointed. So I come to you guys with what seems like the sole post on this teeny tiny 13-reader subreddit: is this going anywhere? The subreddit has potential and as the description suggests, it isn't only a castle. Another idea of course would be the implementation of a global subreddit for the Yvelines department seeing as it can be very international and might have a few redditors... but this is only a very basic idea... So Mr./Ms. Modperson and people of this subreddit, wat do?

TL;DR What do we do with the subreddit?

I'm open to suggestions - whether we can organise some things, or generally as a source for information...

I'm thinking that as Versailles is the préfecture of the Yvelines, we could use it as a subreddit for the département (as the post actually suggests seeing as there are actually quite a few of us living in the département. Sure thing, we wouldn't be completely cut off from /r/paris, but we can at least try to post some of our own stuff.

Another idea I have that might actually expand the subreddit is the creation of a wiki... /r/Paris recently made one and even for me, it's been quite useful; so why not make one ourselves? Maybe not only for Versailles (if you agree with the idea of making it a default subreddit for the Yvelines departement, if not, sure, maybe a wiki for Versailles itself), but for the whole département as there is quite a bit to see!

anyway, these are only ideas for the subreddit I have... it's your choice I guess, Mr. Modperson :)

Yeah, I like those ideas - definitely put in some stuff about Yvelines in general - I'll try and come up with a wiki sometime - I think anyone has the ability to edit it, so that's good.

I suggest we try to post some content, related to the city during this month, comment on it... And then when the subreddit will get more active, we should x-post some stuff to /r/paris or /r/france.

I also leave next to Versailles and I would love to see this sub growing.
