Wiki News

2009-11-06 The Davis Wiki is declared "the world's best local wiki" in a [WWW]blog post from Harvard's Nieman Journalism Lab. The Davis Enterprise followed up on this with a front-page article on 2009-11-10, headlined "Davis Wiki is 'world's best.'"

2009-10-13 An upstream provider suffered a power issue that caused Davis Wiki to be offline early this morning. For system outage information, you can also follow the [WWW]Wiki Spot twitter feed.

2009-04-09 Wikispot (including daviswiki) was inaccessible for nearly 10 hours due to [WWW]multiple [WWW]fiber cuts in the SF bay area, at least one of which affected our upstream provider.

Hints for Editing

A good place to start is by checking out the Davis Wiki Guide.

A Wiki is a linked set of pages that anybody can edit and contribute to if they have the time, access to internet, and a computer. [wikipedia]Wikipedia is the prime example of a successful wiki project. Also, check out [wiki]Why Wiki Works for some information on the philosophy of wiki.

If you want to practice editing you can play around in the Wiki Sand Box, or you may first want to check out our FAQ. We also have a list of All Pages in the wiki.

Feel free to make new pages — and try to remember to link them. Also, if you don't know where to start or don't have any ideas, check out To Do.

To see the most recent edits made you can look at the Recent Changes page. Also, be sure to check your userpage as people will at times leave you comments on there.
