Current wiki news

 * August 28, 2014 - Semantic MediaWiki has been installed following user request.
 * August 10, 2014 - The Variables and Arrays extensions have been installed following user requests.
 * June 7, 2014 - The wiki has now been successfully transferred to our new host with only approximately 6 minutes of downtime due to magic wizard skills. One hikup is that you may need to clear your cookies, or the site may assume you're trying to hijack an account.
 * May 7, 2014 - Approximately 11 hours of downtime occurred due our host giving no prior warning before a forced migration. This caused the server IP to change, and we haven't setup the domain to automatically collaborate itself to such changes. The issue has now been fixed, and we are looking into transferring our server to another host.
 * September 17, 2013 - Improved security measures (SSL) now protect vital areas of the wiki to prevent sensitive information from eavesdropped on.
 * July 17, 2013 - Users can now upload multiple files simultaneously using the inbuilt editor.
 * July 15, 2013 - The wiki now features a more compact recent changes list, babel support and better international language support in general.
 * July 4, 2013 - Users should notice an increase in site performance due to some back-end optimizations that have occurred over the past day.
 * June 27, 2013 - A hard drive failure corrupted the wiki database and the site has since been restored through a backup. Logs indicate that 40 minutes of work (one edit exactly) was lost. The data center has replaced the faulty drive with brand new hard drive from a different shipment batch to prevent further outages like this. I understand that this issue combined with the recent DNS server failure is frustrating, and I can assure you this is not an ongoing problem nor is it a normal thing.
 * June 23, 2013 - DNS server failure caused several hours of unscheduled downtime before the issue was fixed.
 * May 27, 2013 - Nerd Kingdom promotes the wiki on Kickstarter.
