This page describes ongoing efforts to improve SolarSailWiki.

==New Server==

SolarSailWiki is now hosted on [http://www.linode.com/ Linode] to enable more powerful features and easier updates. Please [[Help:Contents|let the administrators know]] if there are any problems.

==Categories==

SolarSailWiki makes heavy use of [[Special:Categories|categories]] to organize information. Old pages are being migrated over, and new pages are being written to make use of them.

==News==

SolarSailWiki currently uses [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiArticleFeeds WikiArticleFeeds] to generate an [[wikipedia:RSS|RSS]] feed for news. This puts all the news items into one page. The feed is displayed on the [[Main Page]] with [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:XFeed_-_RSS_Feed_Aggregator XFeeds]. A more elegant solution might be [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:News_Channel News Channel], which one news story per wiki page in a specific category for generating feeds.

==Bibliography==

SolarSailWiki supports [[Help:Bibliography|bibliographies]] of [[wikipedia:BibTeX|BibTeX]] references.

==Social Networking==

SolarSailWiki uses the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_to_Any_Share/Save/Bookmark_Button Add to Any Share/Save/Bookmark Button] extension to share individual pages with social networking sites.

==Spam==

SolarSailWiki got a lot of spam. To add content, [mailto:admin@solarsails.info contact the administrator for an account]. Logging into SolarSailWiki is required to make edits.
