The site is now running an actual release of the underlying infrastructure software, Xwiki. Up till now it's been on a series of prerelease versions of Xwiki Enterprise 1.8. For more info, see the release notes for XE1.8 .

Got rid of the right-side panels displaying twitter and google feeds. They were causing page-loading to become way too slow and unreliable. Therefore I'm back-burnering my "feed panels" until I can figure out a way to get them to read from cached results rather than computing the feed (oft unchanged from the last time fetched) on each page view.

The panels still live here, and can be added on a space-specific basis by the space-owner through the space's panel wizard. For example here's the panel wizard for space "Sandbox" and here are the panels:

• Google+News+Morgellons
• Google+News+Lyme
• Twitter+Morgellons
• Twitter+Lyme

Note that you can still get the feed information and more on it's own specific page: see "In the News" in the navigation panel.

The site has been upgraded to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise18RC2

I wrote a new application for XWiki and I've installed it here in Timeline.WebHome.

It's available in the "What's New Timeline" link in the navigation panel, at TL2

Site has been upgraded to XWiki Enterprise 1.8RC1.

Also, a stability issue that has been causing downtime has been fixed by reconfiguring Java....

The site-logo's fractal bio-design was taken from http://www.kne.umcs.lublin.pl/strony/grupy/marketing/fraktale/fraktale.htm , specifically:

See http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise18M2 for details on changes. This is basically a bugfix and enhancement release, with refinements made to the following new 1.8 features:

• Office Importer
• New Blog
• REST API
• Finish new rendering/syntax
• Finish new WYSIWYG
• French XE

The office importer feature of Xwiki 1.8 allows registered, logged-in users to import documents in standard "Microsoft Office" or "OpenOffice" formats, e.g,

doc, .ppt, .xls, .odt,. odp,. ods as described here.

I've already imported these two new documents with it:

• "CDC Lies Versus Lyme Reality in 'CDC' space"
• "Dr. John Koo and Psychodermatology: medical fraud based on Lyme-denialism"  (in new "Quackery" space)
