2007-09-30 11:17:45 Can your laptop play the presentation at 
Presentations/General_Audience? —JasonAller

my laptop can play that, yes. but i wonder if people will want to go through the 16 slides at farmer's market.

The slides are great, but I agree with Jessica that face-to-face communication and small flyers/stickers work best at this kind of thing.
2007-09-30 12:37:25 I will table, and can bring a table maybe, but more importantly I want to be paid in stickers and I want to be able to give out stickers. let me know. —PxlAted
2007-09-30 13:20:44 I don't have any more of the Davis Wiki stickers — there was much talk about producing a a new design, but most of the entries didn't work as real (cheap) stickers. Reprinting the "original" design is probably a good idea, but I don't have the spare $100 or so to print 'em right now. There's a lot of people who want stickers, so it'd be a worthwhile thing for someone to spend money on, I think — just use a design you find (I suggest the original or inverted designs on the design contesst page) — and print them up someplace (I used ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
http://123stickers.com in the past).
I've got a bunch of Wiki Spot stickers, which would be good for a table but in of themselves not really as relevant as Davis Wiki stickers.
I don't have any more wiki shirts. I forget who has the silk screen — either Kristen Birdsall or Rob Roy. —PhilipNeustrom
2007-09-30 17:38:48 wikispot stickers would be better than nothing to give out and since there are no more davis stickers I withdraw my request for payment. :) I would also contribute $10 to a new sticker run of the old design but am too poor to bankroll the printing myself. —PxlAted
2007-10-04 16:57:25 if anyone wants to use the wiki fish sign, just let me know. —PxlAted
2007-11-04 15:28:40 Hi all, I've been away from the interweb as of late but I still have several ideas for Davis wiki outreach. I will post several ideas when I get a more stable connection —StevenDaubert
2007-11-08 09:28:55 I hope this isn't too off-topic, but I've been exploring what it would take to get a wiki started in my own local community. User participation and community engagement seems to be one of the main sticking points—and outreach is definitely a large component of this. I'm a big believer in the 'attraction' model of recruitment (focus on enthusiastic participation and others will be drawn to you!), but obviously getting the word out helps. I'd love to help contribute ideas about this, and, obvious, to hear what's worked for you. —Siona

Hello, if you wanted to get a wiki started, the actual wiki itself can be gotten via
Wikispot which is the same software we use here, made bigger to allow for multiple wikis for everyone to create for their communities, free of charge and all that jazz. The most difficult thing for this is to get the community outreach, get people to add content so the ball gets rolling, other folk will likely add more in this regard. Where is the community by the way? ~DavePoole
2007-12-07 10:19:31 In Discussing some issues with how to get people to participate one idea came to mind: Each Wikizen goes forth and converts 2 new wikizens by asking them to make 2 edits on the wiki and then find 2 more people to make 2 more edits each... —AlexMandel
Sorta like a pay it forward.. but what if I get trolled in the end? Not bad but it lacks the oomph of motivation, why should folk do this. Perhaps a general campaign to capture more viewers as users, because most people know but don't add, perhaps then we should really promote signing in and adding something about what davis means to the person, too idealistic? ~D
I was thinking such a thing should be done for inviting people to our next wiki gathering/bbq. —JessicaRockwell
2008-08-02 07:15:02 We've offered to do a feature story on the Davis Wiki and a handful of the main members contributing to the site. We just need to know who those people are and have them contact us and be available for interviews and photographs. Check out the magazine at www.davislifemagazine.com. We've also offered to link stories we do to the appropriate Wiki pages so that you have more info, quotes and photos for each page that we've done a story on, we just need someone willing to enter this each month. —CaryArnold
2009-05-07 12:04:33 I need stickers, and this event should be repeated. With the cycling of UCD students every few years it is important to keep the wiki spreading or else all the people that know about it will move away! Obviously not EVERYBODY but you get the point. —MasonMurray
