Plog Wiki

This is very interesting. Maybe I should start thinking about ways to integrate this with Oddmuse, too. At least write an extension for it.

CSS, Oddmuse, Themes

I did some neat CSS tricks on CommunityWiki: Using themes, users can select whether they want to see explicit language paragraphs color-coded (default is on), whether they want to see only English and German (a proof-of-concept example), and whether they want “explicit near-links” – ie. the interwiki prefix shown for near-links, too. ². I also reworked the Community:NearLink page a bit.

Copyright and Public Domain

A very satisfying rant ³ about the Public Domain Enhancement Act of 2003, AKA the Eric Eldred Act. I sure hope it passes!
