The last week has been very busy for us — after migrating Wikidot to a new datacenter our users have found a few problems related to uploading images and sending emails (i.e. email confirmations, invitations etc.) to Hotmail accounts. (Hotmail: this is YOUR fault!) We are more than happy to say that all the problems have been fixed!

There are at least two things we can celebrate: one is that meanwhile we have reached 50 000 users, the other one is that the new server is really great. Not only it is much much more reliable (we are still doing live intercontinental backups, remember?) and more powerful, but also have much much more storage.

This is why we have increased your storage limit from 100 MB to 300 MB per wiki — does any other wiki farm give you this for free? Moreover, if you need more, please email us at moc.todikiw|troppus#moc.todikiw|troppus, tell us what you need it for and why. We will be more than happy to increase this limit for you! Also please remember that we do not set any limits on number of users nor number of pages for your wikis!

And we have found a nice wiki this week: Online Symbian Encyclopedia is our new featured wiki that should make every mobile phones fan happy! If you are a Symbian developer you might want to visit it too. This wiki is really highly recommended!

Meanwhile we are working on implementing OpenSocial API that provides a standardized way of creating multi-platform web applications. As a result you will be able to use the same widgets within MySpace, Hi5, Ning or Wikidot. And there will be A LOT of such applications. You can watch our progress on the official OpenSocial Wikidot.com blog. We are proud to be one of the first wikis willing to implement the OpenSocial API.

We also have made significant progress on Wikidot 2.0 and we will be releasing first open-sourced components soon! The first one will be our universal transformation package that can (when completed) transform between various wiki markups (Wikidot, MediaWiki etc.), HTML documents, PDFs etc. Excited? Well, you should be ;-)

Congratulations! I'm really looking forward to both Opensocial integration and Wikidot 2.0 being open sourced. The "unlimited" storage limit is a fantastic idea.

Just before I visited the frontpage, I was investigating other ad-free wiki farms, but none of them offer nearly as many free features as Wikidot does. Thanks for providing by far the greatest wiki service around,

Oliver

Very cool!

Mighty interested in the open source option, not that we would need it for the moment, but it's always nice to know that there is a 'way out' in case Wikidot goes down (which I'm sure it never will).
And even more interested in the export feature to html or pdf. The wiki was meant as documentation for our program, with this feature we could include it even with the program for off line access!

Nice one! Very happy with Wikidot as it is, but really looking forward to some of the new features of Wikidot 2.0 like better file management and permissions on a users per page level (i.e. only these explicit users can read this page etc etc).

Keep up the good work guys!

Great news, Michal! Many of us now rely on Wikidot and welcome enhancements. I still don't understand your business model. So much for free.

Given the increased storage, how about increasing the maximum size of an upload from 10MB to 20MB?

Yeah! Way to go guys! :)

Can't wait for wikidot 2.0 and a way to host my own local wikidot…

Great news on the expansion to 300MB per wiki, but what would be really good is expanding the number of characters for the tags field! We still seem to be stuck on just 70 characters. Please increase the size of this field. Something like 200 characters would be a much more useful limit, and given the new 300MB storage quota, space doesn't appear to be an issue..
