Current Events is a centralized spot on the wiki where the community can discuss topics that concern the whole of the wiki. Think of it as a talk page for the entire database. If you want to open up discussion about a particular article, please do so on the Talk: page for that article. Don't forget to indent and sign your posts to make discussion easier to navigate.
The new Recipes Wiki
Okay, we've moved all of the Foodie content over to Recipes Wiki, which means that now there's lots of good pages here that all need to be cleaned up and reformatted.
Here are the steps that I can think of that need to be done in order to relaunch the wiki. If you think of more steps, please add them to the list -- and cross things off once they're done! With all of us working on this, we should be able to move through this smoothly. -- Danny (talk) 23:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- New skin design (Scott)
New logo- New color scheme
- Header graphic
- New main page design (Nicole / Wendy / Colby / Phillip)
- The wiki has two basic content areas -- the Recipes, and the Food Encyclopedia.
- First thing -- Copy the main page design from another wiki, and put up something simple, so that this looks okay when people come to see it over the next couple days. Then we can work on refining it.
