Wiki Spam: Solution?
by Jonathan Morrison 06 May '07

06 May '07

The Joy of a wiki is that no one needs to log in to make changes, the downside is that no one needs to log in to make changes. Recently on the Bike Collective Wiki people some [insert politically incorrect term] has been messing up the content and adding wiki-spam. Gibberish that helps sites rank and be stumbled on by unsuspecting vicitms. While this is easy to clean up, it is time consuming to keep on monitoring it. So I propose we mandate a log on for the wiki, anyone can create one, but that will prevent scripts from auto-inserting into the pages. What does everyone think? http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/ -- Sincerely, Jonathan Morrison Project Coordinator Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective 2312 S.

Hey Rachel, I would be happy to send you our build-a-bike curriculum and yes, I would be interested to get a copy of your proposal. A teen night? I love it! We are working on getting funding for a teen riding group, doing bike tours, and some races and such. What's your mailing address?

Help a small town with a yellow bike project
by Andy Dyson 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Here's something some of you might be able to help with... Mark Carlson from the Montanan town of Choteau (pop 1500) called because (believe it or not) they are interested in having a yellow bike program in their town which is about 50 miles north west of Great Falls. These bikes would be used by the locals and by tourists, and they want to know what is involved in setting up this sort of thing. I said that we at NBW hadn't done that, but we had provided bikes for a couple of programs such as the one at the Bryn Mawr Library, for a dorm at Haverford college and and at a college in NJ. I suggested he call people in Missoula because that's a big bike town, and he said he already had and was waiting for someone to get back to him. Any of you have any experience with Yellow bike programs? If so, please contact Mark if you have time, because this is a chance to get some people on bikes who are reaching out to the bike culture. I'm not able to take any more time on this right now. Mark Carlson (406) 590-5438 forwardscout1991(a)yahoo.com Peace, Andy -- Andrew C.

Re: [TheThinkTank] QBP Accounts

we here at bicas had first a JandB account and now have a QBP account. we have been using almost strictly the QBP for the last year or so. the benifits of JB are that its easier to get an account and i think the free freight minimum is less than QBP, also they have good deals and generally are a bit cheaper. the benifits of QBP are that they have almost everything you could need for parts and tools. i have had good experiences with both companys. troy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Morrison" To: "The Think Tank" Subject: [TheThinkTank] QBP Accounts Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 12:44:47 -0600 Who has one? -- Sincerely, Jonathan Morrison Project Coordinator Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective 2312 S.
