I have added a link to the left-hand sidebar which sends you to a version of the 'Recent Changes' page which lists only edits to mainspace pages, i.e. articles. I found that the standard page was being flooded with forum comments, making actual editing more difficult. (The original link is now 'All Recent Changes'.) Unfortunately, article Talk page comments cannot be included under the new page. I'll remove/change/leave it as directed.

== Move citizendium-L list to Google? == | |||
Presently, we have four mailing lists which are hosted by Purdue University: [http://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-tools Citizendium-Tools], [http://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-editors Citizendium-Editors], [http://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-world Citizendium-World] and [http://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l Citizendium-L]. Of these, the first three are defunct and Citizendium-L is used for occasional announcements. At present, we only have control over Citizendium-L because the administrators of the other lists have not been active on the project for some time. | |||
I suggest we move our announcement list to Google Groups, to protect ourselves against the possibility that Purdue might pull the plug (we have no communication with them at all as far as I know). We already have a Group for non-members and it would be easy to set up another one for anyone to subscribe to. The posts in all four existing lists can be downloaded by anyone as .zip files, so archiving is no problem. Additionally, Citizendium-L is archived on [http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.citizendium.general Gmane]. Are there any objections or issues that you can think of for or against this?

Pages not displaying when logged-in on other wikis
I have submitted a bug report over database error messages that appear when I try to view pages on CZ wikis other than this one (e.g. the test wiki). When logged-in, no pages are viewable. The 'Random Page' link also returns an error when not logged-in. It doesn't seem to be happening on this wiki (fingers crossed it won't). John Stephenson 15:17, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- Greg has fixed this - thanks. John Stephenson 22:26, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
'Recent changes' sidebar links
I have added a link to the left-hand sidebar which sends you to a version of the 'Recent Changes' page which lists only edits to mainspace pages, i.e. articles. I found that the standard page was being flooded with forum comments, making actual editing more difficult. (The original link is now 'All Recent Changes'.) Unfortunately, article Talk page comments cannot be included under the new page. I'll remove/change/leave it as directed. John Stephenson 12:30, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
Move citizendium-L list to Google?
Presently, we have four mailing lists which are hosted by Purdue University: Citizendium-Tools, Citizendium-Editors, Citizendium-World and Citizendium-L. Of these, the first three are defunct and Citizendium-L is used for occasional announcements. At present, we only have control over Citizendium-L because the administrators of the other lists have not been active on the project for some time.
I suggest we move our announcement list to Google Groups, to protect ourselves against the possibility that Purdue might pull the plug (we have no communication with them at all as far as I know). We already have a Group for non-members and it would be easy to set up another one for anyone to subscribe to. The posts in all four existing lists can be downloaded by anyone as .zip files, so archiving is no problem. Additionally, Citizendium-L is archived on Gmane. Are there any objections or issues that you can think of for or against this? John Stephenson 17:09, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
