PortlandWiki:Technical Queue

This is a list of worthwhile changes to the PW interface, infrastructure, and server. Most of these tasks require developer access to the PortlandWiki server files. If you are starting to work on one of them, please add "in progress by YOURNAME" to it! If you've finished it, move it to the Completed section! If you have any questions about any of them, message User:kotra or User:WikiMaster: one of them will probably know what it's all about.

For general and non-technical tasks, see PW:To do.
