The project now has a more suitable, dedicated website after SourceForge kindly provided the project with more memory to run the Tikiwiki integrated CMS that will also form part of project development. Thankyou SourceForge ! The project homepage used to be the SourceForge documentation wiki which is now deprecated, so expect to see this documentation on the Mediawiki hosted app in the near future. You will be able to read the docs in the meantime, they just won't be the project default web page. The project has had a difficult journey partly due to the dreaded "real life" in the case of the project administrator, but I'm still 100% glad that I started it after some original inklings of the idea around 2002 and 2003. I still think that the social networking revolution is skirting around the area of space exploration. The big players like NASA and ESA seem reluctant to open up fully to these social technologies. Maybe their role is to provide a more official standpoint ? So it would seem logical that the open source and world community take up the challenge of giving full access to everyone in the process of exploring space, and Earth it's self of course, which still has many unexplored areas and mysteries.
Tikiwiki has now been chosen as the Wiki that gives the project it's name. So no more Mediawiki. Tikiwiki has mapping and especially image annotation abilities that will work in unison with the OpenLayers and GeoServer SDW capabilities. Tikiwiki also has integrated community building features that fit well with SpaceDataWiki.
