Description
The ukcider wiki was created in January 2005 to serve an existing community which still communicates mainly through a public email list. The wiki promotes the availabilty and production of what we consider to be quality cider through listing outlets ( pubs and shops) producers, and festivals, advising small scale and home cider makers, and collecting together any other information which may be informative, entertaining or organisational. A particular sucess has been the ukcider guide which grew to list over 750 pubs by August 2006 and largely displaces the previous printed "Good cider guide" through being more comprehensive, accurate and up to date. Also of note is the section devoted to Cider by Rosie: Diary of a Dorset Cider maker
The process of starting the wiki was documented by it's creator Andy Roberts as part of an undergraduate research project.
