| == Navigation links added to FlightGear Newsletter header ==
| |
| | |
| As per [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=25104 request by Michat on the forum] I have now managed to add navigation links to the FlightGear Newsletter header, {{tl|Newsletter-header}}, pointing to the previous and next months newsletter.
| |
| | |
| So far I have only added it to the latest header though.
| |
| | |
| Happy browsing! :-)

| == MediaWiki updated to 1.24.1 ==
| |
| | |
| I've updated MediaWiki to the latest stable release (1.24.1) today. There is a small issue with some of the extensions not displaying icons, so some of them have been disabled for the moment. I hope to have them re-enabled later today. Please report bugs if you find any. For a list of changes, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.24

| == Additional Portals ==
| |
| Given the recent interest in doing embedded development related to FlightGear (Arduino/Rasberry PI), I was thinking that we might want to introduce dedicated portals for such use-cases, to keep things neatly organized, but also to provide a place to grow this further - e.g. depending on how this goes, we could have portals covering:
| |
| * Embedded/Hardware (including cockpit building)
| |
| * UAVs
| |
| | |
| Equally, we may want to provide sub-forums for these two topics, which should help clean up the offtopic/development forum, too. Currently, the SUPPORT/HARDWARE forum is being used for many of these topics, even though that was originally intended for joysticks/yokes and pedals related stuff - not custom hardware, which would fit better under DEVELOPMENT in my opinon.
| |
| | |
| As far as I can tell there are roughly 10-15 contributors actively exploring embedded development including UAV stuff - so I guess it would be a good idea for the project (i.e. the forum and the wiki) to provide some structure to "house" such efforts.

| == Boeing 777 Cleanup == | | == Forum registration problem == |
|
| |
|
| Just wrapping up cleaning up Boeing 777 articles that I discussed a full year ago. All now redirect centrally to that page. This makes for a lot less segregated wiki. Looking at it, it would appear that very little happens on the individual pages and the content on their is relatively insignificant. The stuff that is needed I copied over to the main page. Will try to add some pictures as well.
