- Before this wiki ever existed, at least several Davisites had thought about creating something akin to it. For instance, in 2002, ["JaimeRaba" Jaime Raba] wanted to create a wiki devoted to Davis. In early 2004, then housemates ["PhilipNeustrom" Philip Neustrom], ["PaulIvanov" Paul Ivanov], and ["MikeIvanov" Mike Ivanov] sat down over some tasty burritos at ["Guadalajara" the Guad] to discuss several ideas for implementing a freely accessible, freely editable, and extremely user-friendly website where useful and entertaining information about the city and the university could be collected. The central concept was the ability for anyone to create an illustrated "entry" describing a place, event, person, or idea related to Davis, and make it possible for others to find and reference the entry in order to organize and build on the content. In addition, an intuitive interface built around a geographic map of the city was discussed. Above all, emphasis was placed on usability and dynamic content.	+ Before this wiki ever existed, at least several Davisites had thought about creating something akin to it.

- Deciding to jump right in rather than build the web site's backend from the ground up, on June 24, 2004, ["PhilipNeustrom" Philip Neustrom] installed and configured a copy of the popular open-source wiki package [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ MoinMoin] on his laptop, an iBook G4. The choice of the "MoinMoin" package was largely arbitrary, and inspired partly by ["TobinFricke" Tobin Fricke]'s BerkeleyWiki project. He named it, naturally enough, "Davis Wiki," and chose the bike circle, a symbol especially recognizable in Davis, as a tentative logo (see ["Wiki Logo"]). He created a few pages, including ["UC Davis Principles Of Community"], and opened up the wiki for contributions from friends (see ["User Statistics"] for dates users joined).	+ Deciding to jump right in rather than build the web site's backend from the ground up, on June 24, 2004, ["Users/PhilipNeustrom" Philip Neustrom] installed and configured a copy of the popular open-source wiki package [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ MoinMoin] on his laptop, an iBook G4.

- #redirect Daviswiki/Wiki History	+ The following is a timeline of the events relevant to the history of this wiki as a project. It currently includes mostly technical information, and could certainly benefit from the addition of the development of the actual content. For information on our server setup/other geeky things, see ["System Info"]. + + = Prehistoric Times = + + Before this wiki ever existed, at least several Davisites had thought about creating something akin to it. For instance, in 2002, ["JaimeRaba" Jaime Raba] wanted to create a wiki devoted to Davis. In early 2004, then housemates ["PhilipNeustrom" Philip Neustrom], ["PaulIvanov" Paul Ivanov], and ["MikeIvanov" Mike Ivanov] sat down over some tasty burritos at ["Guadalajara" the Guad] to discuss several ideas for implementing a freely accessible, freely editable, and extremely user-friendly website where useful and entertaining information about the city and the university could be collected. The central concept was the ability for anyone to create an illustrated "entry" describing a place, event, person, or idea related to Davis, and make it possible for others to find and reference the entry in order to organize and build on the content. In addition, an intuitive interface built around a geographic map of the city was discussed. Above all, emphasis was placed on usability and dynamic content. + + = In the Beginning = + + [[Image(laptop.png, "Davis Wiki running on Philip's laptop.", thumbnail)]] + + Deciding to jump right in rather than build the web site's backend from the ground up, on June 24, 2004, ["PhilipNeustrom" Philip Neustrom] installed and configured a copy of the popular open-source wiki package [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ MoinMoin] on his laptop, an iBook G4. The choice of the "MoinMoin" package was largely arbitrary, and inspired partly by ["TobinFricke" Tobin Fricke]'s BerkeleyWiki project. He named it, naturally enough, "Davis Wiki," and chose the bike circle, a symbol especially recognizable in Davis, as a tentative logo (see ["Wiki Logo"]). He created a few pages, including ["UC Davis Principles Of Community"], and opened up the wiki for contributions from friends (see ["User Statistics"] for dates users joined). + + Although the MoinMoin wiki, generic as it was, did not exactly fit the original concept for the website, and although accessing it on Philip's laptop was far from convenient, it is fair to say that the potential was immediately felt by some of the early users. On June 29 ["PhilipNeustrom" Philip] acquired temporary hosting courtesy of ["JoshuaGo"], and together with ["MikeIvanov" Mike] began the process of transforming the MoinMoin package into the vision of Davis Wiki. + + On July 2, 2004, much to the surprise of ["PhilipNeustrom" Philip], ["MikeIvanov" Mike] registered the domain {{{www.daviswiki.org}}} and set it up to redirect to our temporary hosting. Work was progressing on customizing the wiki and making it easier to use. The top priority was designing a new theme that was more user-friendly and visually appealing than the default themes available in MoinMoin at the time. At this point Mike did some initial proof-of-concept coding of the ["Davis Map" interactive map]. + + On July 5, 2004, the wiki was put on permanent, reliable hosting. Or so we thought at the time. It would turn out to be neither reliable, nor permanent. Still, it was much better than what we had before, so there was much merriment. During the summer Mike and Philip were involved in the mathematics VIGRE summer research program, but Davis Wiki was taking up more and more of their time. + + By late July, the new theme was nearly complete. It looked almost nothing like the original theme and featured CSS tabs for intuitive navigation, a simplified login screen, and a unified search interface. A MoinMoin developer even complimented us on the look of our wiki, and apparently liked it so much that the new [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ MoinMoin Wiki] now looks remarkably similar to our own. In addition, Philip and Mike added many new features, such as the comment box, an XML-based ["Events Board"] complete with an ["Events Board Syndication" RSS feed]. + + The development of the wiki slowed down somewhat over the next two months, partly to allow for some rest, and partly because school started in late September. Nevertheless, the content grew steadily and more users joined every week. The one major development in August was the move away from [wiki:WikiPedia:CamelCase CamelCase], which allowed for more natural page names. + + = Going Public = + + The start of the 2004-05 school year was always the target for "going public" with the website. This meant finalizing all the interface tweaks, testing the features, and removing the password protection in order to allow anyone to view and join the wiki. As a purely historical note, our password used to be "bikecircle69". + + The wiki was not quite ready at the start of the school year, but it was close. In the final push to make the wiki publically available, ["PhilipNeustrom" Philip] rehauled the search interface to implement powerful indexing software called [http://www.xapian.org Xapian], and ["MikeIvanov" Mike] rushed to complete the ["Davis Map" interactive map] Java applet. After tying up some loose ends, the stage was set for the public release of DavisWiki.org. We unlocked the site on October 27, created some nice ["Wiki Flyer" flyers] and posted them around town. + + + = Growth = + Over the first three weeks of being open to the public, the number of Davis Wiki users quadrupled to over 100, and the number of pages doubled to over 600 pages. The amount of content on existing pages had also grown considerably. + + + \|\|<bgcolor="#9999CC"> -->'''# pages'''<-- \|\|<bgcolor="#9999CC"> -->'''date'''<-- \|\| + \|\|["Thousandth Wiki Page" 1000]\|\|Dec. 10^th^, '04\|\| + \|\|2500\|\|Feb. 23^rd^, '05\|\| + \|\|3000\|\|Mar. 20^th^, '05\|\| + \|\|4500\|\|Jul. 18^th^, '05\|\| + \|\|["5000th Page" 5000]\|\|Sep. 6^th^, '05\|\| + \|\|6000\|\|Nov. 30^th^, '05\|\| + \|\|7000\|\|Apr. 22^th^, '06\|\| + \|\|7500\|\|Oct. 31^st^, '06\|\| + \|\|["Valentine's Day" 8000]\|\|Feb 10^th^, '07\|\| + \|\|["Ayala Massage" 10,000]^th^\|\|May 1^st^ ["2007"]\|\| + + The wiki was hosted on a dedicated machine via [http://1and1.com 1and1.com] for much of its youth, but at the ripe old age of 2 years it moved into its own ["System Info" purpose-built hardware]. + + = Wiki Spot = + As the Davis Wiki is regarded as one of the most successful wiki projects, many other groups decided that they wanted to use our software, known as LocalWiki at that point. Tobin Fricke, who had originally started the Berkeley Wiki (not the current version), decided to try again at his new location in Rochester, New York. This project also turned out to be fairly successful. With more programmers contributing code, LocalWiki evolved into to [wiki:sycamore Sycamore], which, among other things, replaced the flat file backend with a faster SQL database. + + But what became clear is that many other groups wanted the ability to host wikis such as Davis Wiki for their towns, but without having to handle installation and system administration. The Davis Wiki machine, hosted with ["Cernio Technology Cooperative"], also hosted Santa Cruz Wiki, Rochester Wiki, Chico Wiki, and others. Philip Neustrom embarked on a new project -- create tools so that any person could easily start a wiki using Davis Wiki's software. This project became [wiki:wikispot Wiki Spot], a place where a whole network of nonprofit wikis can grow. On April 3, 2007, Wiki Spot officially launched.

The amount of content on existing pages had also grown considerably. - - - \|\|<bgcolor="#9999CC"> -->'''# pages'''<-- \|\|<bgcolor="#9999CC"> -->'''date'''<-- \|\| - \|\|["Thousandth Wiki Page" 1000]\|\|Dec. 10^th^, '04\|\| - \|\|2500\|\|Feb. 23^rd^, '05\|\| - \|\|3000\|\|Mar. 20^th^, '05\|\| - \|\|4500\|\|Jul. 18^th^, '05\|\| - \|\|["5000th Page" 5000]\|\|Sep. 6^th^, '05\|\| - \|\|6000\|\|Nov. 30^th^, '05\|\| - \|\|7000\|\|Apr. 22^th^, '06\|\| - \|\|7500\|\|Oct. 31^st^, '06\|\| - \|\|["Valentine's Day" 8000]\|\|Feb 10^th^, '07\|\| - \|\|["Ayala Massage" 10,000]^th^\|\|May 1^st^ ["2007"]\|\| - - The wiki was hosted on a dedicated machine via [http://1and1.com 1and1.com] for much of its youth, but at the ripe old age of 2 years it moved into its own ["System Info" purpose-built hardware]. - - = Wiki Spot = - As the Davis Wiki is regarded as one of the most successful wiki projects, many other groups decided that they wanted to use our software, known as LocalWiki at that point. Tobin Fricke, who had originally started the Berkeley Wiki (not the current version), decided to try again at his new location in Rochester, New York. This project also turned out to be fairly successful. With more programmers contributing code, LocalWiki evolved into to [wiki:sycamore Sycamore], which, among other things, replaced the flat file backend with a faster SQL database. - - But what became clear is that many other groups wanted the ability to host wikis such as Davis Wiki for their towns, but without having to handle installation and system administration. The Davis Wiki machine, hosted with ["Cernio Technology Cooperative"], also hosted Santa Cruz Wiki, Rochester Wiki, Chico Wiki, and others. Philip Neustrom embarked on a new project -- create tools so that any person could easily start a wiki using Davis Wiki's software. This project became [wiki:wikispot Wiki Spot], a place where a whole network of nonprofit wikis can grow. On April 3, 2007, Wiki Spot officially launched. Davis Wiki serves as the flagship wiki of Wiki Spot (primarily because it is the biggest wiki). - - = Media Coverage/Mentions = - - ''''November 15th, 2007''' ["Sacramento Bee"] writer Mickey Enkoji says in the article ''[http://www.sacbee.com/101/story/493438.html Wiki worlds flourishing for local communities]'', "It looks like Davis, California, is now the center of the Wiki universe". - - '''November 3rd, 2007''' [http://www.sacbee.com/140/story/469581.html A brief mention] in a ["Sacramento Bee"] article about [wiki:sacramento SacWiki.org], mentions Davis Wiki as an inspiration. - - '''September 27, 2007''' [http://media.www.californiaaggie.com/media/storage/paper981/news/2007/09/27/CityNews/Daviswiki.Offers.Resources.To.Davis.Residents.Students-2995793.shtml Davis Wiki offers Resources to Davis Residents, Students] - Article in the Aggie's orientation issue about the wiki. - - '''July 12, 2007''' [wiki:toronto:"Wiki Community/Press" Won't you be my neighbour?] - [http://www.insidetoronto.com/news/annex/article/29238 Article] in Toronto's [wiki:toronto:"The Annex Guardian"] community newspaper cites DavisWiki as the largest city wiki and mentions all the help Davis folks have been providing to Torontopedia. - - '''July 7, 2007''' [wiki:toronto:"Wiki Community/Press" Wiki to the City] - Article in [wiki:toronto:"The National Post"] Newspaper notes Davis Wiki is the largest English language city wiki and is also the model for [wiki:toronto Torontopedia].

	+ + = Wiki Spot = + As the Davis Wiki is regarded as one of the most successful wiki projects, many other groups decided that they wanted to use our software, known as LocalWiki at that point. Tobin Fricke, who had originally started the Berkeley Wiki (not the current version), decided to try again at his new location in Rochester, New York. This project also turned out to be fairly successful. With more programmers contributing code, LocalWiki evolved into to [wiki:sycamore Sycamore], which, among other things, replaced the flat file backend with a faster SQL database. + + But what became clear is that many other groups wanted the ability to host wikis such as Davis Wiki for their towns, but without having to handle installation and system administration. The Davis Wiki machine, hosted with ["Cernio Technology Cooperative"], also hosted Santa Cruz Wiki, Rochester Wiki, Chico Wiki, and others. Philip Neustrom embarked on a new project -- create tools so that any person could easily start a wiki using Davis Wiki's software. This project became [wiki:wikispot Wiki Spot], a place where a whole network of nonprofit wikis can grow. On April 3, 2007, Wiki Spot officially launched. Davis Wiki serves as the flagship wiki of Wiki Spot (primarily because it is the biggest wiki).
