Darwinbots Wiki Manual and new homepage. Hopefully a compendium of knowledge that will be more than a manual.

News

Oct. 19 2005

2.4.3 is released on the FTP which addresses the difficulties of new users. If you tried Darwinbots recently and had trouble getting it to work properly, this should address your problem.

Oct. 15 2005

A bunch of work has been done with the help page(sidebar). Also added a {{delete}} template that users can add to an Unused page they believe should be deleted. This page is also tracked so anyone can also add a link to the unused page and expect a response.

Well, our wiki went down for a little bit. I fixed it, and in the process learned a bit about databases.
