Have an unsolicited feature request? This is the place! Also perhaps a good place to discuss how changes should be implemented and whether they are a good idea.
#change the background to pink
#*Um, no.
#*but this is actually an easy fix...
#how bout little changes every once and a while - like google does on holidays? - we could scan in students' drawings...
# Fix the WSO Student Homepages link. Seriously buggy on both IE and Mozilla Firefox. repeats people several hundred times.
# Add a "most recently added comments" function to Factrak. It is impossible to figure out whether Factrak's even been updated at all this semester since you have to manually search by prof.
# Add new 2005-06 profs to Factrak, asap!
#*Done! Also, if you want to help maintain the factrak databases, (it's really easy I promise, there's a really sweet admin interface) e-mail me at 06cks. E-mail me even if you aren't in WSO, and especially if you are an underclassman, someone has got to look after this once I'm gone.
# Create or [http://obiblio.sourceforge.net install] a catalog system for books & DVD's that students have (usually lying around in their common rooms) that libraries don't (comic books, course books, etc.) that other people could borrow. Students could lend to each other and track who has what.
#* Done! See [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Books_You%27re_Welcome_to_Borrow books] and [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/DVDs_You%27re_Welcome_to_Borrow DVDs] you're welcome to borrow.
# Require log-ins to use the wiki.
#*<s>Possibly,</s> although free access is half the point of a Wiki, <s>and</s> there has<s>n't</s> been much abuse of it so far, <i>so, OK, done.</i>
# Get the menu and weather scripts working again.
##Definitely should be done, but it is not as easy as one may think.
# In the wiki login, put the "Log In" button on the same line as the dropdown menu, so that when you tab from one to the next you get to select WSO or Unix before you press the Login button, thereby not getting an error message.
#Work with alacrity at providing shell accounts for the use of maintaining a student organization's webpage.
