As of June 2009, news are posted through our wikilog (wiki blog/bliki).

  • April 2009. Upgraded to Mediawiki 1.39.6 (1ccdb15). Added the book collection extension made by PediaPress.com. Please don't abuse this feature and consider buying a book from this friendly company. I may remove this extension again until we get a much faster server. Creating a large book really puts a big strain on the CPU (load averages above 10).
  • Sept. 27 2008. Added a file cache and re-enabled the guestbook with a captcha spam protection. If the file cache will act strangly I'll remove it again.
  • September 4 2008. Moved edutechwiki to another machine to make it a bit faster. Upgraded to Mediawiki 1.13.
  • June 2008. EduTech Wiki - an all-in-one solution to support whole scholarship? (PDF), a best practice paper for EdMedia 2008. There are also slides (PPT). This is my first paper about EduTech Wiki :) - DKS 19 June 2008.
  • March 2008: Upgrade to MW 1.12, more extensions added, e.g. "who is online", Graphviz, Edit Warning.
  • September 19 2007: Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.11, fixed SVGViz to work with this version, removed the Java visualization (it was getting too big), added "Print as PDF" and some more extensions.
  • What other say. Spent 2-3 hours on looking at links and Google statistics about this place - DKS 8 December 2007
