  • New Player Experience
    • Perhaps the tutorials should be reworked a bit, and made more prominent on the main page. Agree / Disagree?
    • Should we include a link to Mayday's graphical compilation on the main page? The default tileset can be more than intimidating for some.
  • Overall Site Improvements
    • What should we improve?
    • To increase the speed of page loads, I can migrate the database to PostgreSQL (this server setup has been optimized for Postgres previously, and not mySQL). However, this would require some downtime (between 0-3 hours, most likely). Thoughts? Done.
    • I have been thinking about updating the captcha plugin to recaptcha, and then re-enabling page edits for unregistered users. Thoughts? Done.
    • There may be odd kinks to work out still on the website, as I do not program / have experience in PHP (Ruby on Rails is what I do my web programming in).
