On Monday, 28th February 2011, between 9:00 and 9:30 AM UTC a maintenance of Wikidot service is planned.

We will upgrade database software (to PostgreSQL 9.0) and hardware. The planned down-time is no more than 5 minutes. The upgrade should improve both performance and stability for our backend services.

This week we're going to highlight some of the sites hosted and powered by Wikidot.com. Some of them are extremely popular and we hope the rest to get popular soon. There is no strict criteria for these picks — but these are the sites that often make us say Wow!, and we simply want to share the links with you in case you missed them.

A few weeks ago on this blog we mentioned a feature that we're introducing soon — the Dashboard. It is meant to be a central place to manage your messages, invitations, sites, storage, memberships and account settings.

At first a very basic (though fully functional) version of the Dashboard will be presented. The current status is it needs some polishing, but it's already totally usable. Later we'll update the Profile and Settings panel to manage your account easier (now it's a bit of a mess).
