What's new

  • 6 August - Wikia staff have granted this wiki a green light for upload of .ZIP and .GBX files. ... Hoo-Yah! This allows the Virtual Skipper Wiki to become a true repository (with revision history) for Boats, Skins and (soon) Tracks rather than merely being a "catalog of URLs" to existing file mirrors. (A 10MB file size limit will continue to apply so some .ZIP files will require special handling.)
  • 6 August - I revised the ETA for race results rapid upload by 1 month. I have just started reading about the RandR system (by Theeuwes de Jong) and so I plan to study that for a few weeks before firming up plans for this wiki's Race pages and associated semantic data. See also: this post at the Watercooler. -najevi
  • 3 August - Form based add/edit of Boat Model and Skin pages. A Manage your Favorites facility and a popularity index is in place for all pages in the categories: Boats and Skins.
