Integration of sites

Hi there.
While I am often surfing to
http://oolite.org/,
http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_Main_Page and this wiki it is kind of annoying that once being here this is a dead end. To get to one of the other sites I have to open a browser and put in the URL myself. Yes, that could be even covered by bookmarks, of which I have many.
What will help many users though is if the forum menu had one or two entries more. And while at that, maybe the look and feel could also be made a bit more like
http://oolite.org/. It would make whizzing between those three easier.
Just a suggestion though...

Having mulled this over, I agree!
Would it possible to add a link to both Oolite.org & our wiki (either on the top bar with notification/private messages
etc, or on the Quick Links menu)?

Only Giles and Jens (and possibly Winston) have those admin permissions.

...and, as I learned, all three of them have moved on. What a dilemma...

Well, Aegidian updated this BB back in March, and Winston helped sort out the issues in the wiki back in February. So it's not utterly dismal. Mayhaps it makes best sense to wait until we have a finalised list of requests for the BB before we start to bug Aegidian about it!

Then let's start collecting ideas. Probably more for the holy trinity of the sites.
We can create thread to collect ideas in a brainstorming manner, then put up a wiki page with the results.

Full ack. But you cannot believe how often teams need an outsider to start seeing the elephant in the room.

There's an elephant in the room? Where's my gun?

It is probably in
TUSCALOOSA.
Sorry.
Many, many, many moons ago, during the early days of my wayward youth, some amount of time was spent spouting Elephant Jokes. It is now considered an early, yet integral, part of my life long attempt to Understand Humor.
