DavisWiki is a really great local wiki that focuses entirely on the city of Davis, {{tag|California}}. Some of the features that make it unique are an {{tag|interactive}} {{tag|map}}, which provides another way to navigate the wiki! I gotta figure out how they did that. You can drill down on the map easily get to any store, business or other attraction for which there is a wiki article, here’s an example of an article. A look at the RecentChanges page shows that the wiki is clearly vibrant and what else is neat is that there seem to be 500 or so people with personal pages. Here’s a student’s page and here’s her favorite DavisWiki page. UC Davis is right there and that probably works to the wiki’s advantage in that students dig interactive web sites like FaceBook, etc. and the wiki is even easier to use.


There are a number of “citi-wiki’s”, like the [[BerlinWiki]] for example, but DavisWiki stands out because it has really captured the hearts and minds of its community. What is the secret? I hope to see more like this!

Although years in development, theoretically, '''The Baltimore Collective''' wiki archive site is formally launching on Saturday, February 9, 2008 at the '''Enoch Pratt free Library''' in downtown Baltimore, in the beautiful & historic '''Edgar Allan Poe Room''' there.


== Description ==
An ambitious project, the collective promises to document Baltimore's eclectic cultural past and present, with an emphasis on the alternative or experimental arts — as on our '''[http://BaltoCo.org/wiki/Category:Art_Spaces Art Spaces] & [http://BaltoCo.org/wiki/Category:Film_Video Film_Video] category pages.'''  At this time, our most important page is the '''[http://BaltoCo.org/wiki/Category:SITE_MAP SITE_MAP]  category page,''' which lists many categories & wiki articles in various states of construction. 
Note on Wiki Engine: They started with [[:Category: MoinMoin|MoinMoin]], but it is now thoroughly hacked
The project's main curator is '''Richard Tryzno Ellsberry,''' assisted by his greatest girlfriend in the world, '''Vicki,''' & the many creative folks around '''Baltimore MD US.'''
