Continuing the Dream
From Zelda Wiki.org

We went down for a little while, but with good reason. We're on a new server, with a new name, and a new domain. Say hello to Zelda Wiki.org - we've made the dream. Now we just need to keep it going. Keep an eye out for various projects and goodies coming soon.
One of what you will probably find the greatest goodie is a new layout. I've got in mind for a new one, and Scott agreed to help me make it happen. There might even be some neat 3D renderings for a new logo and famicon.
Because we're now a real domain, standards are rising dramatically. We're a league of sites with something big, so we need everyone to put in their best effort to keep articles clean, nice, and well-written. From this point on, anything that's more or less scrap will be, well, scrapped.
A new main page should be on the way, too! It's being discussed, and Toby has some nice ideas. I know he's not the only one, so feel free to talk about what you want the main page to be - it's completely open. Right now, the idea is to make it much like Wikipedia's community portal.
Also, the more sites that want to be in the project, the better! We've only just begun, and I look forward to seeing how this place will grow now that it has a domain and some nice sites connected to it. Something all webmasters of sites that join can look forward to are @zeldawiki.org emails, which I'll provide for everyone. Since I'm such an advocate of Google, I decided to use the opportunity to test Google's Tools for Domains, meaning that all the @zeldawiki.org emails are done through GMail. They aren't GMail accounts, but it's all on Google's server, so everyone gets 2+ GB etc. without having to pay regard to space being used up that could be used for the betterment of the wiki. Even better yet, all of these email accounts are compatible with Google Talk. Just another reason to join up! ;)
The wiki has also been upgraded to version 1.7.1, which should get rid of any remaining bugs that existed before. If there are any bugs, please report them in the talk page.
