Is there a secure / https server available for the project?
I am somewhat reluctant to sign up for any new project or web account anywhere that involves unsecured login transactions in this day and age...
If it's there and I missed it, just send the URL and I apologize for not finding it myself. If it's not there, that's a big bug to file 8-)

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions, Will. I'll get to work on the pages you mentioned. Actually, I'm not sure that the Help or the Community Central pages should actually describe the project (it seems more appropriate for [[Epistemia:About]] and [[Epistemia:Frequently asked questions]] to do so), but it's probably a case of poor linking and too-complex structure.
I'm thinking about the welcome page; I want to keep it small, but adding a link to the FAQ and/or making the link to [[Epistemia:About]] more prominent would be helpful.
The About page is blank? Did you look at http://en.epistemia.org/wiki/Epistemia:About? Maybe your browser has a caching problem; the page does not appear blank to me.
Essentially, Epistemia disallows account names with numbers and punctuation in them because they can be difficult to remember, 'ugly' (although that is a point of view, of course), and 'unprofessional' (also another point of view). We disallow account names with domain names in them in order to avoid any problems with spam, trademarks, and problems with apparent representation. We should more accurately describe these reasons on the site.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
Have a nice day,
—Thomas Larsen
