Current events

From New Babbage Department of Records and Archives

This page in reverse order, most recent events on top. The previous month is removed during the second week of the current month and put in calendar order for an archive page, indexed by month and year for retrieval. Line entries could also be moved to a topic pages to provide a chronological outline of events which can be read without the unpleasantness of trying to dig things out of the Ning and the greater blogosphere. The ultimate goal is to make the ongoing story of New Babbage more cohesive. Also, many stories are so complex that they cannot be strung together until some point in the future, so this page will serve as a staging area until the threads can be properly archived

Thumbnail images can be inserted from images hosted on Flickr.com, which offers excellent limited free hosting. All you have to do is paste in the URL of the thumbnail image, which you can find by following the "all sizes" link from the Flickr photo page.

The time burden of maintaining this wiki is more than one person can bear. It is up to all the citizens of New Babbage to make this a vibrant and vital resource.

Each entry should be a single line summary of the event, with links to blog and forum references indented on the next line. Open the edit tab and follow the established format to insert your articles into the timeline.
