News wiki-blog goes live!

Welcome to the L3DT news weblog. As I mentioned in the first test-post, this part of the site was built using DokuWiki¹⁾ and the blog plugin thereof.

The purpose of this weblog is to:

1. Provide a place for longer news items and announcements than are practical with the announcements forum.
2. Providing users with permanent, logically-structured and searchable archives.
3. Streamline site maintenance.

As with the old hand-crafted PHP/XHTML news pages, summaries of important items will be splashed on the main page with appropriate links to the full items here.

The style and presentation is still a little, eh, rustic, but I can tinker with that later. The RSS feeds are also quite wonky, so I don't recommend anyone subscribe just yet.
