This page will list important announcements relevant to A Storehouse of Knowledge contributors. The newest items will be listed at the top.
All contributors are recommended to have this page on their watchlist.
This page will include important software upgrades, but less-important ones will only be listed at Software changes.
- 21 March 2009: Site launched.
- 25 March 2009: New regulation added regarding suitability of external links.
- 4 April 2009: Interwiki links enabled.
- 5 April 2009: You can now nominate a non-member to become a member.
- 7 April 2009: Semantic MediaWiki installed. (Further announcements about this will be listed at Software changes.)
- 7 May 2009: A Storehouse of Knowledge was down for a number of hours a few hours back. This was a problem with the hosting service's server. We apologise for any inconvenience.
- 23 May 2009: A Storehouse of Knowledge has been down a number of times recently. The hosting service needed to replace a drive to fix the RAID array of the server. The first rebuild failed, and they had to try it again, and this went slowly, and the server was read-only for a while. The rebuild is now complete, so hopefully that's the end of the problems.
- 24 November 2009: The new Copyright terms have been adopted.
- 24 January 2010: A Storehouse of Knowledge was down for several days as the result of a server crash. See here for details.
- 8 February 2010: The Civility breach page was created. All contributors who are inclined to be insulting or rude should read this.
- 2 April 2011: A Storehouse of Knowledge was down for over a day. The hosting service switched it off for overloading the shared CPU, but we have now made changes which we hope will alleviate this (but if it doesn't work, we may be offline again, this time looking for a new hosting service).
