Re: search engine ignoring pinyin tone marks: I'll check it out today.

I think the Lucene [1] search engine is what we need. From the README:

"articles are parsed for basic wiki syntax and are stripped of accents" [2]

I'll contact Simon and see if he can get this installed for us.

For the redirect, the syntax is
#REDIRECT[[page]]
where "page" is the name of the target of the redirect. I think it has to be on the first line, any other content will be ignored. To sign a page, just enter two dashes and four tildes
--~~~~
or click the second button from the right about the editing window.

Check out my user page for an example of a comprehensive page index. The lists are supposed to be collapsible but that's not working yet. I contacted Simon re: search engine. Great work btw.

PS: When do you want to pause on adding new pages and do a comprehensive edit before making a public announcement about the site? I think a threshold of 100 content pages is a good spot to look back. Also, before we open up for new users we should put together a constitution of sorts to guide future questions and disputes.
