The Collaboration of the Month is a set of pages with a common theme to be given special attention for the month. The goal is to attract new contributors and focus the effort of current editors so that the wiki has more complete pages like Bicycling and Housing Guide and fewer stubs. See To Do for more general things you can do to upkeep the wiki.
Collaboration for May/June 2009
After two years, it might be a good idea to revive this idea. How about local and regional festivals? Where are the local fairs, fests and days? Something like Annual Events, with everything from corn mazes to WEF to regional events within easy travel distance like the Sammies.
Collaboration for May 2007
-
Radio Stations — Document all of the radio stations, including format information and major shows. Most are nonexistent, and the majority that exist are stubs with purely technical information pulled from databases.
Past Collaborations
-
March 2007: Davis Visitor's Guide
Proposed Collaborations
-
Davis Farmers Market — Document all the regulars with photos of their stands, notes on where they come from, how long they have been attending, both Wednesday and Saturday.
-
When I tabled at the Farmers Market, I went around to the booth and talked to some of them about the wiki. mixed responses... but maybe if some of us just went to each booth, took pics got info and created pages for the stalls they would be more receptive. —PxlAted
-
City Services — What does the city provide? If money is spent on it, it's in the budget, so that can be used as a checklist to research and document everything the city itself is doing.

2007-03-06 23:32:09 I think a Visitor's Guide would be nice. Something that incorporates Good Places to take Visitors and Good Places to Take Kids. —AndrewChen
2007-03-06 23:44:58 I think the Visitors Guide is a good place to start. Other possible topics for the future: Restaurant Menus, Professors & Departments, City Services, Pages for Farmer's Market Regulars with pictures, another questions for candidates for the next election, Davis History, Outreach to Senior Center with Demo. —JasonAller
2007-03-07 04:56:59 Something where Wiki editors could meet would be neat — the Farmer's Market regulars could have a bunch of editors show up at a given time with cameras and notebooks and work the market, taking notes and photos. Not all CotMs could do that, but for the ones that could, it would be really nifty. —JabberWokky
2007-03-07 06:18:39 Would that be a "wikimob"? —WesHardaker
2007-03-07 11:24:35 Another vote for the Visitor's Guide. I'll bring a camera next time I come to Davis and try to fill some related photo requests. —GrahamFreeman
2007-03-07 17:33:07 A good collaboration for July (or earlier) could be to improve all of the Apartment pages. —JasonAller
2007-03-07 20:33:27 I like the visitors guide idea. I think the main challenge will be keeping it consicise. One approach is breaking it down into "what bings you to davis?" Visiting some friends/family? Here for work? etc. —ArlenAbraham
2007-03-07 20:40:45 It sounds like Arlen has already started, why don't we take this to Davis Visitor's Guide/Talk and start planning out content, structure and pages? Who is up for visiting the Yolo County Visitors Bureau? —JasonAller
2009-04-28 10:59:43 THIS PAGE! lol this hasn't been touched in like 2 years! —MasonMurray
