Summary

On Monday, November 25th, the wiki had a scheduled maintenance window from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.  The work was started at 7 a.m. and finished shortly before 8 a.m., allowing access to all users.

What changed?

  • Server updates and patches to ensure wiki reliability
  • Updates to a couple of macros: Space group management and Numbered Headings
  • Wiki Stats pages have moved to the Help space (it may take a minute to load)
  • New functionality: the Decision Blueprint

Decision Blueprint

The Decision Blueprint is another blueprint available for wiki users, supplementing the 'Meeting Notes' and 'File List' blueprints.  Blueprints can be seen when pressing the Create button to add a new page or blogpost.  Blueprints are sort of like templates that allow powerful functionality for routine items without having to set it up every time.

The Decision blueprint enables teams or groups to track what decisions are being made, who is involved, the status of the decision, and the outcome. All decisions are automatically added to the Decision Register.

For an example see the Decision Register in the Demo Space.
