Revision as of 03:42, 20 August 2012
2011
No entries. It's not that nothing happened, it's that Andrew Gronosky was not fastidious about updating the Project Redcap:Current events page (or its equivalent).
Probably the main thing that was done in 2011 was to consolidate and update the pages on regional Tribunals, merging the player-created saga sites onto the Tribunal pages. (Previously, the saga sites were listed on separate pages for each Tribunal.)
2010
- 2010-07-27: We received our first spam attack.
We will have to disable anonymous editing, permanently. :-( - 2010-03-22: The free Web hosting service Geocities went offline on October 27, 2009. Today we began the process of going through and pruning out the links to all the great Ars Magica pages that are gone forever. It's a bit depressing to see that Saga pages that have been around since the mid-1990's have disappeared.
- 2010-03-09: There has been a flurry of activity on content creation. We are filling in a lot of the high-ranked missing resources, and have only a few missing pages with more than 5 backlinks.
- 2010-02-20: Assigned categories to > 50 uncategorized pages.
2009
- 2009-08-22: Server software switched from testing to active.
- 2009-06-19: Server software upgraded to new major release (in fact, entirely new software).
- 2009-05-08: Nearly all the questions from the Redcap FAQ have been incorporated into HermesWeb. I estimate that over 80% of the Project Redcap content is now incorporated into HermesWeb in addition to the hundreds of new articles created just for this project.
2008
In 2008, the encyclopedia was started as an independent Wiki called HermesWeb.
- 2008-12-29: We've got our new, improved navigation bar. Thanks, Pitt!
- 2008-12-29: We had our first anonymous edit using the guest account. This is a big deal because it means at least one other person has contributed to our project! Thank you, whoever you are.
- 2008-12-28: All Saga pages from {the original, static HTML pages} have been migrated to here. Actually, Yair had already done most of the work and I just followed through and checked the links and marked the Redcap pages as outdated. I'll get started on migrating the FAQ next.
- 2008-12-27: Guest account created.
See Contributing for instructions. - 2008-12-27: Posted transition plan.
- 2008-09-07: HermesWeb has gone public! We're now listed in | Project: Redcap
- 2008-08-09: There is | another Ars Magica Wiki out there! It looks like we won't be the only interactive site for Ars Magica fans. This is not, however, necessarily a bad thing.
- 2008-04-11: We now have over 400 pages, mostly due to Yair's incredible efforts
- 2008-03-12: Created Administration page to discuss plans and needs (This is now located at Project Redcap:Administration -- AG)
