Whilst the TourBus concept may ''appear'' to be similar to a web ring, the TourBus project is unique in that it is a more <u>inclusive</u> 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. :( | ||
