[edit] New Design?
I'm pretty much new here on the wiki, but I was almost scared away by the text only Home Page. Perhaps something more "friendly" to first time readers should be put forward? I'm not an expert in Mediawiki table design, but some of the other language Wikipedias manage to have some really nice and friendly designs, I especially think the Polish and Dutch ones look nice. Perhaps there could even be an "Article/Image of the day"?. Born_Acorn 19:44, 27 April 2007
- Having looked at it, very very Fair comment. (It is, I beleive, the original V.00 edition, and nobody has looked at it since the year dot!!).
It would depend if Festwiki software could support the sort of page like the Polish or Dutch versions - which are very pleasing to look at. However, we are currently in a software freeze as our "man in charge" on that side is undertaking a bit of "personal development plan" at the moment --Keith 21:17, 27 April 2007
- A belated answer to Keith - it should be possible to do something like the Polish or Dutch Wikipedia home pages. I started following through the templates used on the Dutch one to see how it worked but gave up. However, the only thing I found that we don't support was the inputbox tag for the form. Feel free to have a try. --Peter_Harrison (talk) 01:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
As you will now see - the home page has been redesigned and will have some constantly changing material on it (well once a month anyway!!) --Keith (talk) 2007-12-27T08:28:12
Technically, shouldn't it be "Festipaedia", here in the UK? :p 78.32.103.125 (talk) 21:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- We did also consider a double f but this is the Heritage Group! Seriously, I checked several recent UK dictionaries and they all indicated that both spellings are current with the e only spelling becoming preferred. Of course, as we are a heritage group, perhaps that means we should go for ae! Views? --Peter_Harrison (talk) 01:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Definitely NOT ae - the potential for the paed bit to be hit upon by the wrong type of search is to be avoided. Adrian Gray

[edit] Horse Drawn
I thought the early pictures show one horse pulling six or two pulling ten waggons. Are there really pictures of one horse pulling eight?
Jatibarang No.9 picture - its not it's.
