Hi Rob. [edit times] seem to ahead by about 8 hours. eg. my 7pm edit says it was made at 3am tomorrow. A small detail. Dan Linden 19:35, 2 November 2006 (PST)
Er, I see this is because the server uses UTC time. Is this typical of most media wikis? Dan Linden 19:37, 2 November 2006 (PST)
- Yes, most wikis (and global-use systems) use UTC internally, but you can change the displayed time via your my preferences link so that you see your local time (should you choose to do so). --Alison Wheels 02:20, 16 January 2007 (PST)
- One thing I've had fun playing with is the PHP function date_default_timezone_set()- forces all time-related functions to work in the specified timezone :-D

Pseudo-Deletion Policy
Since articles need to be preserved due to, what I presume is a requirement of the Creative Commons license, I propose that a custom namespace such as 'RecycleBin' or 'Archived' be created (e.g. RecycleBin:Text from Inworld Notecards Archived:Text from Inworld Notecards , for the following reasons:
- MediaWiki's features should allow for it to made obvious to visitors that the article is no longer in use
- All articles in the hypothetical namespace should be sysop'd
- Allowing all articles in the namespace to be backed up at a much, much lower frequency and priority
- Freeing up the original namespace for future use
- If this policy is adopted, then articles should probably be filed by Month YYYY, e.g. RecycleBin:Articles deleted January 2007/Text from Inworld Notecards to reduce the liklihood of "collisions".

LL emails- reachability vs SPAM
Considering what happened when I tried to send an email to both you and Pathfinder, I'm wondering what your thoughts are on including LL Employee emails in their user pages.
While it's not that hard to figure out in most cases, it would make it easier for the addresses to be found (hello custom hCard templates), but would also result in the addresses being easier to be found by SPAM crawlers.
I'm assuming that Linden Lab has some anti-spam measures available to them, but are they sufficient enough to hold up to the barrage that's likely to come with the addresses being indexed by google ?
