:Today is the [[CZ:Monthly Write-a-Thon|Monthly Write-a-Thon]]!
:Also, today we're starting [[CZ:Stub Week|Stub Week]].  Yes, we're actually ''encouraging'' you to write stubs, and we're reducing the minimum length to just two sentences.  It's an experiment!
;October 31, 2007
:As you probably noticed, we did a [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Citizendium_Press_Releases/Oct302007 press release] yesterday.  We also launched [http://www.citizendium.org/oneyearandthriving.html a progress report.]  As a result, we have been [http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/2151242 Slashdotted,] and that has resulted in a lot of new people arriving.
:Also, I (LMS) have decided not to pursue the organization of "What's Your Article?" at this time.  Too much else to do, not enough internal interest.
;October 26, 2007
:Just a reminder: please slap [[:Category:CZ Live]] on all new articles (not un-reworked Wikipedia imports) that you start!
;October 23, 2007
:There are now new links to our three main new initiatives on the main page, [[CZ:recruitment|recruitment]], [[CZ:Core Articles|Core Articles]], and [[WYA:What's Your Article?|What's Your Article?]].
:Do you think we need more people in some particular discipline?  Then make a request on [[CZ:Recruitment|Recruitment]] and hopefully someone will be motivated to round up some new people who study that subject.
;October 18, 2007
:Recently, a [[CZ:recruitment|recruitment]] campaign kicked off and has already yielded considerable dividends in terms of new accounts and several new people on the wiki.  ''[[CZ:recruitment|Please help spread the word!]]''
;October 15, 2007
:Just to let you know, an editcount has been activated, see [http://lila.stos.free.fr/index2.html]. It is supposed to be more stable than the older version. <s>The price is a one-day lag, something to be yet improved.</s> To promote the work in the mainspace, one more counter has been added (percentage of edits to articles).
;October 8, 2007
:[[Special:RequestAccount|Registration]] now takes place via Web form...and approving an application is done with a click of a constable's button.  Thanks to Aaron Schwarz.
:[https://lists.purdue.edu/pipermail/citizendium-l/2007-October/001079.html Thanks to everyone.]
:Image problems fixed.
;October 6, 2007
:Image problems: There is an intermittent problem with dispaying images right now.  The technical people are aware of it.
;October 4, 2007
:There were several hours of downtime, when one of the CZ servers went down, for unknown reasons.
:Then, in the evening (7:30-8:30 PM Eastern), the entire Steadfast network and other Chicago networks went down.  Again, no idea why.
:We passed 3,000 sometime probably yesterday.
