Sexy new site design

February 01st 2006 Posted to Blog, Chapter News by Gavin Baker

I hope the title didn’t get you too excited, but we’ve got some cool news: J.C. has updated WordPress, installed a new pretty theme, and also gifted us with a MediaWiki install.

That means FFC has a wiki for the first time, albeit a very young and not-quite-ready-for-the-limelight wiki. You can check it out here. You can also access the wiki by typing in uf.freeculture.org/wiki

Say hi to the Wikimonster while you’re there. (He’s the magical entity that completes your work, as long as you post it on the wiki. Really the secret of how we get so much done as an organization…)

We’ll be taking other steps to improve the Web site in the next few weeks, so stay tuned. Remember, you can subscribe to our RSS feed and get the latest Free Culture news in your aggregator of choice. (Here’s an intro to RSS in Firefox to get you started.) Be sure to check out the international Free Culture blog, too.

    Now the real question: should I replicate this design on the wiki?

    +1 for replicating it on the wiki

    I don’t know much about MediaWiki skinning, but it seems like a daunting task to replicate the design…

    Dude I wanna try to do this, I have yet to skin a wiki.

    You know what they say: there’s more than one way to skin a wiki.

    I’ll work on skinning the wiki next week - didn’t have time today and defintely won’t again ’till Tuesday.
