Summer update

Hi all,

it’s been a busy summer here at ShoutWiki, and I’d like to tell you a bit about all the cool stuff we’ve developed during summer 2009!

  • SharedNewtalk — cross-wiki notifications of new messages on your personal talk pages. For example, when user A leaves a message on your talk page on wiki B and user C leaves a message on your talk page on wiki D, you will be notified about all of these messages the next time you log in to ShoutWiki. Cool or what?
  • Commenting and Voting — social commenting and voting is available on request, also for wikis that do not use the social tools package.
  • New skins — we’ve developed a bunch of new premium skins! Stay tuned for more…
  • Special:Interwiki — want to know what interwiki prefixes are available on your wiki? Or interlanguage prefixes? We thought so and decided to improve the existing Special:Interwiki extension in order to make your life a bit easier.
  • New languages — ShoutWiki supports lolcat and Pig Latin variants of English language. Have you ever seen a wiki with lolcat or Pig Latin as the default? I bet you haven’t, because these language variants are unique to ShoutWiki.

I would also like to thank our hard-working beta testers and staff members for all the work they’ve done during the summer. Without you, we wouldn’t be here now.

Beta is here!

Hey all! The main page of our site is now open for viewing, check it out on shoutwiki.com now.

We’re in a limited beta phase right now, meaning that a selected group of users have access to the site for testing purposes. These beta-testers will ensure that everything works properly before we open up the whole site for everyone.

We hope to launch the site in summer 2009 for the rest of the world.

If you would like us to host your wiki or you have some questions about the service, give us a shout at support@shoutwiki.com.

I hope to see you on the wiki!
