At to say hello to folks, but I'll be downstairs in the basement at the DACAC meeting for the bulk of the meeting.

Traffic calming DC-2 looks like a hot issue.

DC-4 is "Resolution to Initiate a Statue to Honor Kathy Kozachenko". So I updated the page

@eikenberry I would love to tag along if only to express my gratitude for people who do photography that helps feed the insatiable desire to document what has changed in the built environment.

I fired up an RSS bot to post changes to to @arborwiki_changes

I had been considering using val.town or Glitch (are there any Glitch-able RSS-Masto bots?) until I realized that has RSS and Mastodon integrations. I hereby pledge to maybe possibly blog about how I set it up.

It looks like it's that time of year to refresh the page for Paczki Day at localwiki.org/ann-arbor/Paczki

How can you help? Only a few of the folks who do sell paczki have updated their web sites to note the special availability, so this will probably need to involve some phone calls to pin down details. If you call, ask for pricing, a pre-order deadline, and flavors.

I've added a [verified] tag to the ones where the web sites are updated with 2023 info.

@voxphoto Yeah, the address renumbering makes things a little tricky. 330 got split to 326/328 post-1995.

See localwiki.org/ann-arbor/330_Ma for the initial timeline - AADL might have a little more, for Monday I'll send some requests in to Old News to see if they can fill out a few more details.

Let me see about restoring the login too!

Initial edit for the 2023 Maynard Street fire is in

localwiki.org/ann-arbor/2023_M

At the moment it's a lead paragraph and a link dump. Edits welcome!

There is actually a bunch of useful Arborwiki history to connect to already there, just need to piece together a story out of the parts that already exist.

There was a big fire two doors down from them on Friday, but Frank's Restaurant on Maynard St in Ann Arbor opened for business this morning. Talked to someone in the restaurant who was closing down for the day, he said business as usual.

localwiki.org/ann-arbor/Frank%

"Like the Acropolis, Frank's is the fortified high point of Ann Arbor."

As usual, is a few years behind on details (last edit 2012; you can help).

Planning to operate (Parking Structures On The Air) for the 800a morning roundtable.

Not a lot of info about the Ann Arbor "Fourth and William Parking Structure", 115 E William St, online at the moment - a few notes on at localwiki.org/ann-arbor/Fourth about 2015 construction - but I will at a minimum report back with the elevation of the top deck and any signal reports.

Conveniently this is across from the bus station, so it should be less than 30 minutes door to summit.

@bdimcheff wiki is always out of date by its very nature.

The "Activity" link is a "Recent Changes" list

localwiki.org/ann-arbor/_activ

and once upon a long time ago there was a bot that posted recent changes to the birbsite to aid in reviewing them.

There are folks doing recent changes patrol across all of Localwiki, so spam tends to get smushed out pretty well. But when facts change, Arborwiki can be slow to notice them.

There is an Ann Arbor area wiki on at arborwiki.org which helpfully redirects to localwiki.org/ann-arbor/

Historically the most popular page is Birthday Deals localwiki.org/ann-arbor/Birthd . (It may still well be, I don't really know).

The premise of Arborwiki has always been that rather than having the Wikipedia notion of "notability", the relevant criteria is that the topic be local.

Some things are out of date (as expected)
