	+ ------ + ''2008-11-20 12:15:47'' [[nbsp]] We might want to have a list of the former featured wikis on the front page in a terse format (something like the "Nearby Wikis" on [wiki:davis Davis Wiki]) so that people interested in Wiki Spot have mature examples to look at. We'll also probably start moving more through faster: Davis Wiki took quite awhile to replace, and Chico Wiki was up there for a long time, but now I see several wikis that started when Wiki Spot was opened all starting to approach that stable, active level of maturity. --["Users/JabberWokky"]

	+ * I just contacted the proposed "next up" wiki a couple days ago, and they are just starting to respond and do the last sprucing up of their wiki (they already had an amazing depth of content, as they were a pre-existing functioning community that started actively using the wiki almost as soon as they created it). I'd guess we'll be able to swap out over the weekend or so. --["Users/JabberWokky" Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards]

	+ * [wiki:Chico] is certainly trying hard to grow a community. Actually, things are looking rather good since signs indicate the word is out and there has been a spat of editing from random users as of late. It's really interesting how difficult it is to convince people that editing the wiki is a great idea. But I'm sure that those of us that do edit the wiki wouldn't mind it being featured :-) --["Users/RyanMikulovsky"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-04-05 23:50:28'' [[nbsp]] Okay, it's definitely time to pick a new featured wiki. [wiki:sacramento] looks like the healthiest wiki outside of [wiki:davis]. [wiki:chico] and [wiki:santacruz] would be okay, but I'd like them to have a bit larger of a community. [wiki:nevada] has a large community, but it's really really new and probably not ready yet. Any other suggestions from those of you who watch other wikis? --["Users/BrentLaabs"]
