OpenFact's Wikipedia Status ( http://tinyurl.com/48a5m ) is the original Wikipedia Status page. However, it suffers from a huge problem: it is prohibitively unwieldly to use. The solution? Create a more streamlined application designed for the exact task of allowing the community to report on contingency issues. Yup... it's called WikiStatus for lack of a more creative name. You can view an online version of it here: http://tinyurl.com/a62lu and the source code is here: http://tinyurl.com/b9z8n I'm not sure when/how OpenFacts became the de facto standard for status reporting, but it would be cool if we could add a link to WikiStatus from the standard error page. Of course, it's really new software (I consider it alpha quality) and it probably needs to be audited, but when there's a problem, there should be multiple contingency sites. Please check it out! Thanks. :D -- Edward Z. Yang Personal: edwardzyang@...
