Wiki News |
2009-11-06 The Davis Wiki is declared "the world's best local wiki" in a
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
Wiki Spot twitter feed.
2009-04-09 Wikispot (including daviswiki) was inaccessible for nearly 10 hours due to
multiple
fiber cuts in the SF bay area, at least one of which affected our upstream provider. While we seem to be back up now, you may experience intermittent outages as repair crews work to fix the damaged line(s).
2007-11-06 We noticed some issues involving the daylight savings time switchover and the Events Board — things should be fixed now, but let somebody know if you notice issues.
Outreach!
2007-09-30 DavisWiki needs your help in reaching members of the community! DavisWiki is a great resource, but keeping it relevant means involving everyone we can. Find out how you can spread the word and discuss outreach ideas here.
