Random Wiki Upgrades
by 
JGat
I've put up a few extra random things on the site, which I've found out after a spot of researching. Read on to find out what they are.
- I've put up a GUI to-do list on the Todo page. Checkboxen to quickly mark off new and done to do's.
- The news page is now a page which grabs the most recent forum posts from "News" and throws them up formatted into a clean, neat page.
- The Front Page grabs the most recent 5 of all forum posts, and the most recent news item from this category and embeds them down the bottom.
- The Minutes page now has an auto-generated list of the 15 most recently made minutes. It also has a form to create a new minutes page.
- Site members can now invite other people to join, using this page. You can send off an email to other people (preferably in the computer club) with a custom message, and they'll get a link to a page where they can create an account and be a member.
- You can check how current members joined the site. Enter their name on the who invited page, and it will tell you how they joined, and who let them (unless they used the password).
- We can set up a "petition". I'm not too sure it'll be of any use, but it's there (for admin use only) if you want it. An example of a wikidot petition is here: http://noooxml.org/petition.
