UoRoadClubHistory

From UoWiki

Early dialog with UO colleagues:

The page formerly known as UOCycleRoadsters. (yes this link does seem broken)

Will it cause problems (technical or social) if I rename UOCycleRoadsters (somewhat plodding) to UORoadClub? This has the virtues of brevity and greater inclusiveness: we could ask skaters and peds too.

UORoadClub will engage with roads in a playful way. Examination and deconstruction of the formal and informal codes of road behaviour elicited will naturally follow, using the bicycle as our chief experimental tool.

As a cycler, with no drivers license, I would personally be more interested in something that may include skaters/peds/unicylers but not automobilers or motorcycles or other motorized traffic. Not sure how it would be phrased in the name...

it is a rare day indeed when the automobilers are absent

• f course the cyclers will have the easiest and best time ;-)

I like "cycler" and "automobiler" (carer being taken)

First problem : the UO wiki does not allow pages to be renamed. You can create new pages to replace the old, but I don't think you can actually remove the old pages easily.

The system runs on one of Sauls servers, I think he may be able to do a backup at system level.

Do the retired pages have to be linked to from another page? It seems not. Cool. Editing in progress...
