Re: Exciting new changes for the LibrePlanet Wiki

[Valessio Brito]

Hello humans,

So sorry for the delay in sending another email. Some people who wrote
off the list and already could answer all. Thanks for the feedback and
contributions!

What's New:
Thank you very much to the FSF TechTeam, especially Michael and Andrew
who helped a lot last week with major updates to MediaWiki, as well as
extensions and installation of the Tweeki base theme.

Now I could say that we are in the testing process, if you want to be part:
1. Just login to libreplanet.org;
2. Go to the "Preferences" page;
3. Under "appearances" tab and change the theme to "TWeeki".

Over the next few weeks I will adjust the old content from <table> to
<div> and thus stay responsive (mobile friendly). Please avoid using
Tables, use only when necessary.

We are moving to new practices, so the new base theme is well
documented and there is support for a number of user-friendly
components.
Check it out here: https://tweeki.thai-land.at/wiki/Welcome

Finally, I would like to send emails to the list, so it involves more
people discussing. Emails in private will be answered privately, but
it's a lot of energy and we need to share more among the whole
community.

Sorry for the absence on IRC, unfortunately I have many instant
messaging environments and I can't keep up with all groups and
channels in different locals.


Cheers,
Valessio Brito
