The TourBus project was an {{tag|WikiIdea|idea}} created at [[MeatballWiki]] as a way of linking up like-minded [[:Category:Wiki People|wiki folk]] with their like-minded [[wiki]] sites in a {{tag|WikiCommunityBuilding|community building}} initiative. Like all good bus tours, the places where the {{tag|TourBusStop|bus stops}} is important. | ||
The [[MeatBall:BusManagement| | The [[MeatBall:BusManagement|Bus Management]] crew at Meatball oversee the TourBus project, [[MeatBall:TourBusDiscussion|discuss]] existing and new [[MeatBall:BusRouteDiscussion|routes]] and stops, produce a simple [[MeatBall:HowToForTourBusConnections|'how to']] guide for making connections, and publish the [[MeatBall:TourBusMap|TourBusMap]] which details a list of (nearly) all of the bus routes and stops. Each TourBus route is unique, and its bus driver is key to the smooth running of the bus tour and its stops. Any wikis who are not part of the WikiTourBus project, but whom have a desire to join, can post a request at [[MeatBall:WikisInNeedForBusConnections|WikisInNeedForBusConnections]]. Wikis may either join just one TourBus route, or many. | ||
Some commentators have suggested that the WikiTourBus is merely a WebRing for wiki. Whilst the TourBus concept may ''appear'' to be similar to a WebRing, the TourBus project is unique in that it is a more inclusive project of mutual co-operation – one where wikis on the TourBus scheme actively encourage readers to take a trip from their own wiki and look at other similar wikis. It is important that all wikis on the TourBus project actively encourage and maintain mutual links and activity between other wikis on their bus route; those who don't may be asked to leave the TourBus project. :( | Some commentators have suggested that the WikiTourBus is merely a WebRing for wiki.
