WTF?
http://oolite.space
now working again...
the original server is accepting requests from my VPS again
http://oolite.space looks just fine on my AppleMac. As does
http://dev2.oolite.site/oxps. My only "niggle" is about expanding the descriptions beyond the first 5 oxz's (thanks to the amount of space it takes up on my smaller laptop screen). But you clearly feel differently, and may well be right. NB: Thanks for the reminder to clear my cache!
Might it be an idea to reword the Expansions page?
There are over five hundred expansion packs released for Oolite. There are two expansion pack formats in use in Oolite 1.80 (or higher), usually referred to as OXZ and OXP. The OXZ format is more modern and can be downloaded and installed automatically by the game by selecting the "Manage Expansion Packs" option on the start screen. The OXP format is older and must be installed manually. As the OXZ format is currently new, many expansion packs are still only available in the older OXP format.
Almost all released expansion packs, regardless of format, are also listed on the Wiki's OXP List.
The Wiki is also home to the developer documentation.
If you have difficulty with an expansion pack, it is usually best to report this in its thread in the Expansion Pack forum.
If you are an expansion pack writer, you can upload your manifest files to the list.
The table below lists the OXZ expansion packs which can be automatically downloaded by Oolite 1.80 (or higher), as well as links for manual downloads if you prefer to do that. If you are still using Oolite 1.77.1 or an earlier version, OXZ format expansion packs will not be usable - you will be able to download OXP format expansions from other sites.

ie: edit it to read like this:

And maybe change the "OXP List" link from
https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_List to
https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Category:OXP_Lists
Note on this: The OXP List page in the wiki quickly became out of date as people did not bother updating it and just put their new oxz's on the Expansions Manager instead. When I became active with the wiki I found that updating it was a major chore, and created the new (and easier)
Guide to Unlisted OXPs page instead to collect all the forgotten oxps which I was unearthing on the BB.
On the other hand, the OXP List is where Old Murgh listed his Iron Ass OXPs, so it has not fallen by the wayside.
Reminder: Cody has mentioned the need to use screen shots which are in focus. The current ones seem in focus to me - but that might just be my creaking eye-balls!
Might it be an idea to reword part of the Main page?
One of the most important aspects of Oolite is customisation: almost all parts of the game can be modified using simple free text and graphics tools, and over five hundred expansion packs are available, ranging from minor tweaks such as a new ship or replacement sound effects, all the way up to giant missions it could take you weeks to play through.

Question: are there any other "giant missions" apart from Xeptatl's Sword?.
