Wiki
♦ Updated the wiki. Also installed the newer GeSHI extension. This means all code snippets will be un-highlighted until we change the HTML for them. Please start converting all code from <source lang="python">...</source> to <source lange="python">...</source>. If it's C-code, just use "c" instead of "python". Also, you can add line numbers and other stuff with ease. See GeSHI Parameters.
♦ Adding a special category/section for active PyMOL Development.
♦ Rather large changes to the style of the main page. Hopefully this will transition into something more pleasing.
♦ We need experienced PyMOL users to link pages to their respective categories and make new categories. Some new categories that need to be filled: Category:Settings, Category:Publication_Quality, Category:Image_Manipulation, Category:Nucleic_Acids. We also need a category -- or categories -- on biochemical analysis and other useful things we do in PyMOL. This will help people expand their knowledge (by being able to see related issues), and make it easier for the power users to find what they need. The editing is very simple -- all you do is add a category tag(s) at the end of the pages.
♦ We also need folks to link to the pages in the Orphaned Pages. These pages are only found by direct searching, so we should change that to help make this more usable.
