What other features are coming?
Dave has unrestricted access to both the Topica archives back to 1999 and the database that holds the messages for the new forums. All he has to do now is concoct a way to pull all the old Topica messages onto his computers, mundge them into the format that matches the expectations of the new forums' database and then insert them into their own 'Archives' forum on this site. Simple!
You can also expect a wiki and a place to blog fairly soon.
A wiki is a collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone with access to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis. Wikis are used in business to provide intranet and knowledge management systems. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work." "Wiki" (/wi?ki?/) is a Hawaiian word for "fast".
A blog (a contraction of the term 'web log') is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic.
