I will be upgrading the Dokuwiki install this week, with the addition
of a series of new plugins and such as well. Want to give everyone a
heads up , and what will be added and so forth.

2. Plugin Clean up and Additions
 a. Removing - Cloud, Doodle, googleads, google_cal/gcalendar, lastfm, xfortune
 b. Adding
   i. http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:note - Note plugin
  ii. http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:discussion - Discussion plugin
(apparently works better than before, it was tried once during initial
dokuwiki implementation).


With that said, I am open to suggestion on any directions others think
we need to take with the project. I have been tossing around the idea
of doing some community specific (on a per game basis) things such as
tournament announcement and community event announcement. This might
cause some of the namespace pages to become a glorified news page for
users to reference, but then it might not. Im also open to other
ideas. Someone even suggested using the Iframe stuff to actually
contain a web-based game from within the UGA itself
(http://ikariam.org comes to mind right off). I have even been asked
to run a Phaos (or similar other server) for users to play on as well.
