ibikeu Wiki Update: The wiki is now open to editing by the public

Published by Alex Thompson at 12:38 am under Activism, FUN

We’ve opened the wiki to public editing. Traffic slowed last week, and the wiki has matured faster than expected, so now is the right time. Anyone who creates a user name (and anyone can) may edit. If you never click another link on this blog, at least visit the new article on Big Wheels.

By the way, if you can help promote the wiki, or there is some way other than editing that you’d like to contribute, please email me at alexcthompson@gmail.com. If you blog, please blog it.

This week traffic dropped about 30%, and editing dropped severely. However, there were some improvements in the quality of certain articles. The wiki also expanded it’s policies slightly.

Some awesome new articles:

David Pulsipher
Bicycle Types
Vehicular Cycling
1996 LA Bike Master Plan

Here are some important new pages which need work, but it’s good that someone started them:

Criterium

Organized Bike Rides
California

Some cool new images:

Duchess

Cub Camp group shot
Adam in Kansas

Lastly, an awesome category, which inspired a whole series of promising articles:

Road Hazards Category

Finally, if you made it this far, here’s a stats summary.

Week 3: 11742 page views, 424 edits
Week 2: 14354 page views, 1201 edits
Week 1: 8927 page views, 1072 edits
