Summer 2008

Trundling across the wiki, if you listen late at night you can hear the whistle of the Aller Express sounding in the distance, slowly fulfilling all the sleeping wikizen's dreams of photo requests.
Davis is a good place to live if you don't take it too seriously. In light of that I keep an open request for constructive feedback.
While talking with a colleague recently I noticed that the feel of the conversation was more small town than any I've had in a long time. I thought about it for a while and most of what made the discussion feel that way was a result of 
daviswiki.org. It is the sharing of collective experience that humanizes not only our relationships with each other, but with our community as well. If no one else has started a wiki for your community or common interest group, you can go to 
wikispot and start one for free.
This wiki will only ever be as good as you are willing to make it. Please keep that in mind as you leave comments and edit. I do push for editors to establish some identity here on the wiki because I believe strongly that people are more polite when they are willing to stand behind their words with their real names. Anonymity or hiding behind an mask detracts from the community building portion of the mission of the wiki.
If you litter the wiki with poor behavior and deception it will only encourage more of the same and then ultimately everyone is denied what could have otherwise been a really nifty resource. Further thoughts on this.
I've been using the search function here more and more often because I know that I'll find what I'm looking for... or a reason to add a page.
Among the pages that I like are:
Yes, I'm fairly 
Gnomish. I also maintained a ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
graph and dataset tracking the growth of Davis wiki for a while.
I'm looking for a Life Size Statue of Bob Marley Healing a Blind Woman.

"8/23/2010" — Thank you for the advice. The Racquetball page is up and running (My first page)!!
LOL... wow. Thanks. None of us could remember a page fitting the description, and I did a couple of "family" based searches and didn't find it. —TomGarberson
8/2/2010 - JA, with how long you've been grinding that axe against 'realname vs username' I'm starting to worry that your going to end up with nothing but a handle. I think a lot of people are seeing the heat from the friction right now. Can I offer you a soda? -ES
(Psst... the meeting is running late, I take it? Hopefully in a good way...) -jw
