libcom's blog

Logged in users will notice a new edit tab on library, history and news articles - this allows wikipedia-style user edits to any article. To prevent abuse, edited articles go into a moderation queue to be approved. Anyone blatantly vandalising articles will be banned. Also, please be aware that we may not accept all edits, in the same way that we don't accept all article submissions.

This year at libcom.org has seen a lot of changes. We upgraded to Drupal 5.x, fixed some long standing forum issues, finally got our server to a point where it doesn't crash every day. The site has also seen over 1,300 new users and around 100,000 forum posts since this time last year.

We have a page on new social networking site - Virb. Check us out:

We're now working in Association with Amazon.co.uk. This means we'll have some great special offers available exclusively for our users.

Posts nearly up to pre-hack levels again with 4th biggest month ever.

After months of manually moving of all the hundreds of articles from news, features, organise, history, thought, notes, glossary and the blog from the old site at libcom.org.uk, they are finally all done.

Not only that, but they have all been categorised and tagged, have more extensive referencing and interlinking. Many articles have also had pictures and captions added.

After several weeks of consideration, the one you all lovingly know as Joseph K. joined the libcom group on Saturday. Joseph has been contributing to the libcom project for several months now and as we were looking to expand the admin team he seemed like the natural choice.

Saturday 21st October sees the return to North London of the Anarchist Bookfair now in its 26th year. Of course libcom.org will be there, so if you are coming down - pass by and say "hi" at our stall.

In what we hope will be a monthly update, here is a chart of traffic on the forums and how they have been growing.
