Talk:Main Page

Front page protected?
Why? Defeats the whole premise of a wiki, which is that I can fix the typo of loose to lose.

Font Page and updates!
I recently removed the google ads.

Maybe there is enough volunteers to help catch and restore vandalism. The front page was protected in the early stages of development to prevent vandalism while submitting to search engines. And we still have mucho vandalism and not enough volunteers to help catch them quickly. But, I still think it is wise to only let admin change the home page. If you want admin rights, please contact me on my discussion page.

Looking for Administrators!
I need a few good administrators to help with the site! User:Wikimanager

I want to be an Admin
Hey Wikimanager,

I have lots of experience as an administrator for wikipedia, do you think I could help with admin duties? Ryan 07:57, 30 Dec 2005 (PST)

For those interested in Admin Duties
A few admin duties:


 * Encourage community participation in discussions
 * Participate in discussions as often as possible
 * Make weekly enhancements to content (typos, misrepresentations and false information)
 * Occasionally add content to the site
 * Most important, greet new members and educate them on wiki guidelines

I will give you admin rights once you have shown administrative interest in the site by attending to these duties. Wikimanager 08:07, 30 Dec 2005 (PST)

Getting Serious!
We are about to move everything into phase 2! We have decided to focus really hard on Regional Content. Finding those Regions within Regions! Wikimanager 14:19, 30 Jan 2006 (PST)

Major props
I have been interested to see how a wiki cookbook could work (since I would guess that people would fight over whether a recipe needs 2 teaspoons of salt or 3, but this looks pretty good. It's a shame that this site isn't as well advertised, because it already seems to be fairly comprehensive.  My only suggestion is creating a better launching point on the front page.  Mediawiki has such a bad search engine that it can be difficult to find stuff.  What if I want to find a breakfast recipe?  It can be difficult to know where to start here.  Just a suggestion.  keep up the good work, i have a few recipes of my own I hope to contribute.  --72.147.159.35 20:25, 4 Feb 2006 (PST)

Recommend upgrading
Currently you are running mediawiki 1.4.5 (see Special:Version), which is a old version of mediawiki. I believe the current is 1.5.6. Anyways, the newer versions have a "Printable version" for all pages. This, of course, would be spectacular for a cookbook wiki.

Thanks for the input!
Hey! Thanks for the input! I will check on upgrades and any ideas torwards making the homepage a better launch page would be great as well! Welcome to the community!
