Great platform. Used this religiously while in college at Davis. Luckily, there was an active community of people updating the pages, which allowed the Wiki to essentially replace Yelp for looking up business info.

That Daviswiki allows for the accumulation of institutional knowledge from the student's perspective is just one of the things that makes it such a valuable resource. I learned so much more about the history and culture of the town and the university than I ever could have using sterile/stale facebook pages or univeristy websites.

Same here, I used it in 2007-2010 while studying at UCD for just about everything from finding apartments to bike routes.

Glad to see it got a nice facelift as well.
