To do list

The CSDMS Wiki was launched in March 2008. It is not a fully editable wiki in the sense that not everybody is able to contribute to all the CSDMS pages. It differs also from other wiki's (like Wikipedia) as the appearance of the site is different from any other wiki, but it has the same functionality as any other wiki!

And like how that goes with many other new features, there are still a few "hick ups" that we need to work on to get this Wiki operating flawless. The following list shows were the CSDMS-IF is working on. We encourage people to add new tasks to this list, as it will only make the Wiki more robust and user friendlier!

Please add your new task/suggestion at the top of this list

  • Upgrade from Mediawiki 1.11.0 to 1.12.0 for security reasons
  • Include ConfirmEdit (installs the Captcha tool that create images with characters in it, that you than need to retype into a text box (security innovation))
  • Add "funding opportunity" page for the modeling community?
