It has been a tough week for us — although we were pushing new fixes and improvements to Wikidot.com (as can be seen in the changelog), work was not the only challenge for us.
I guess it is the deceiving part of Winter where you get temporary warm-up and people believe they no longer need warm scarfs, hats and gloves. But it is also the time when flu viruses and various bacterias spread like crazy and infect people.
We could not resist the massive attack. The whole core team got ill at the same time, including our families and kids. Hopefully we have almost recovered by now and are getting strength to face the real problems at Wikidot.
Needless to say, this was an annoying experience. We had to cancel some business trips, and live with decreased productivity. Luckily we could all work remotely, but it is hard to be creative when you face fever and have to care about ill kids too.
But to let the frustration go, there is nothing better than to write about it.
That's our rant, and what annoyed you at Wikidot (or the outside world) this week?
I metioned - no reaction in the forum(s)…
now I know why..
Hope , you and your families are all well again?

Only to notice - the decision is to be taken, where the translated documentation is to be held…. the directin is more and more going to the existing (big) handbook.
Therefore the links above are outdated soon - and the sites will be deleted…

Hey helmuti … what is the doc-template site for?
It uses the name of a template site, but it has content on it… so I am not sure :S

"Doc-template" was planned for the temülate of every doc-xy.site for specific languages… as a copy of the "doc" categor of wikdiot.

1. I just bought Photoshop CS5 and lost the case so now I can't enter my keycode until I find it =(
2. Now because of loosing my PS CS5 I have to delay today's work schedule.
3. And lastly(This doesn't have anything to do with websites but it's something I also love to do) I just got my Audi back after not having it for 8 months (it was getting heavily worked on), now because of this crazy snow storm I can't unleash It's power =(
- I would also like to get some Experienced Wikidot developers to join the development team at http://www.Icondeposit.com, This site is going to be very useful for Wikidot users.

My rant is that Wikidot do not consider really useful and far reaching wishes such as Include to use ListPages syntax and Automatic code replacement and that some really useful enhancements are left in the limbo of "planned" for months on end with no prospect of being implemented. For example the ability to set/remove a page tag with a button action.
I agree… to a certain extent.
Wikidot will be implementing some very powerful features soon though, especially in regards to Data Forms.

They've also been working hard on the dashboard…

I know they're working hard, and they have my full support and my every sympathy for their and their family's illness too.
…But this is a rant, yes? ;-)
I've been thinking about a wikidot programming language to make scripts so to speak. Like javascript is to html in a way.
It's weekend rant so this fits in the category… While writing the post above, I was thinking that yeah, everything really is good in personal life and all. So, yesterday, while having fun at our snowboarding activities with my son, I took a wee bit too much of speed to the jump. Result: my shoulder gets operated this week and an undefined time of sick leave. I've never have had any injuries of this kind (I guess I won't be young forever after all :)

You have my sympathy. Our manager managed to fall off the end of an escalator onto his shoulder in Frankfurt airport at the beginning of November. He's still off work.
