Re: Redesigning some things...
I thought about some improvements to the wiki...
How about creating some kinds of portals ? For example, a portal about ISRU, with short descriptions of technologies involved, and for each, a link to a full article. The same for Mars (well, the Mars page already has a structure similar to a portal).
Also, some improvement to the Main Page, with portals listed there, and some important links, replacing all the links in the middle ? Something like this:
http://www.newmars.com/wiki/index.php/User:Maxie/Test
It this is okay to you people, what portals should we create ? I have some ideas, for example Mars, Missions to Mars, Living on Mars, In-Situ Resource Utilisation.
Maybe something about civilization and culture ? Technology ? Also, probably one about space travel in general...

Re: Redesigning some things...
sounds very good.
Sadly, I don't have that much time anymore to add stuff etc. But I'll try to keep an eye open on what happens and 'proofread' now and then.

Re: Redesigning some things...
Yes it does 
I only had a look after writing my comment.
It looks very inviting, reminds me somehow of Hypercards, dunno why... But i like it verily.
rather offtopic: now the portalpage's invitation to have a look at the forums links to Liberum Olympia, wouldn't it be better it just linked to New Mars Forums Main page? I mean, in the off-chance someone stumbles onto the Wiki, and then clicks that link, they come into the discussionpage for the wiki, not the NMars discussions themselves...

Re: Redesigning some things...
OK, I'm glad you like it. Now, I need some ideas about main portals and topics in them. Something like
Portal:Mars -> topics: Water on Mars · Martian atmosphere · Climate of Mars · Magnetic fields of Mars · Life on Mars · Terraformation · etc etc...

Re: Redesigning some things...
Here's a preview:

There is a problem: Because of the poetry <div> which is a float, the contents doesn't fit too well.... Any idea how to fix this ?
