I am trying to get caught up. What I was thinking of is getting some good descriptions of the ships and their firepower and such. Like I have a map of the boheme that Ben made. http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/4/3/7/f_mapm_16089c9.jpg&srv=img37 Having something like that for the other ships could be very helpful.

I doubt I have the artistic or design capabilities to make one of those...

though I do think that an entry for the Boheme itself would be useful. It features in many of the character pages.

Bugger, it's slipping off the page!

Sorry I haven't been around to work on the wiki much.

I haven't done much either...I really need to clean up the Steam London plot...but I feel I'm missing some sideplot points. The character pages need some filling. Sigh...

Bugger, it's fallen off the page again...

Nice catch!

Good work, seriously. I nearly forgot all about the poor wiki...I do believe I left bits of it in a shoddy state of half-completeness...

I know I did but work is taking away almost all of my free time. As soon as November hits I will be back at full steam.

I've been having a bit of trouble creating pages at the moment on the wiki -I can only create them if I first create a link to the page I want to create & using that to open the initial editing box for me- otherwise it doesn't give me the option to make a new page...

That's just how it's done. Don't ask me why. IMO, whoever* designed the first Wiki must have been extremely eccentric.

I've begun a new thread to duscuss my proposal for a Wiki page listing fictional organizations. (I actually started it here, but I would have started a new thread if I were a little less impulsive. Honest!) I'm posting a link to it here, since this is the definitive Wiki Awareness thread.

In brief, I propose a listing of Laboratories, Research Institutes, Noble Houses, Trading Houses, Military Service Branches, Regiments, Companies, Corps and so forth, Professional Associations and whatever else might not fit the pattern of an Airship Crew or a Social Network. A more detailed description is in the Request for Comments thread.

I invite any comments or suggestions to be posted in the Request for Comments thread; I shall wait a week or two before proceeding, as I would prefer to produce something acceptable to the community-at-large, rather than something which merely reflects my personal tastes.

In anticipation I remain
Prof. Darwin Prætorius von Corax, Director
The Leverkusen Institute of Paleocybernetics

Ah fair enough my fault- it wasn't a big problem, I just thought if it wasn't supposed to do that it'd be best reported.
Still exelent to see it doing so well
