In Preparation for Bukkit Docs we're restructuring the wiki. More details to come, but for now please pardon the mess. We plan on adding 3 new sections and restructuring the homepage.

BukkitWiki: Curse Hosting & Style Modifications
Simply put the forums and wiki will be getting a few style changes in style (aka the curse sites bar) due to our affiliation with Curse and the fact that they're hosting some of our services. I'll try to stay on top of things as far as site flow and management as best as I can, meanwhile if you have a suggestion please feel free to drop into IRC on the #bukkitwiki channel and tell me about it.

Forums Downtime 12/07/11 (Update: COMPLETED)
I'd like to alert you to the fact that the Bukkit Forums (including bukkit.org) will be temporarily unavailable for a period of approximately one hour whilst vital networking equipment between our web server and database server is replaced and/or repaired by our hosting provider, Multiplay. I cannot at this time give you an estimate of when the work will start, but it should begin some time tonight (GMT).
This replacement should resolve the issues that many of you have been experiencing with the forums as of late.
In summary, the following services will be unavailable:
- forums.bukkit.org
- bukkit.org
- wiki.bukkit.org (Tentatively)
The following serviecs may also be affected:
- ci.bukkit.org
- plugins.bukkit.org
The following services will not be affected:
- leaky.bukkit.org (bukkit.atlassian.net)
- dev.bukkit.org
I thank you on behalf of the Bukkit team for your patience whilst these important repairs are underway.

Bukkit's New Issue Tracker!
Because of the new JIRA-powered Issue Tracker that Bukkit has adopted, BukkitWiki has a module inside the issue tracker. This new system is going to be adopted in-place of the out-of-date todo page. Thanks to this new system we are also going to be allowing users to take tickets from the Issue Tracker and fix them directly by introducing Wiki Developers. Wiki Developers will have direct access to tickets on the Issue Tracker and will be allowed to take on those tickets to resolve issues.
Submitting Issues is relatively straightfoward. You have Four Categories: Bug, Improvement, New Feature, and Task. Bug Issues would be for site failures and overall crashes with the website. Improvement Issues is the most common ticket type and consists of anything from Content suggestions to fixes in the wiki structure. New Feature Issues would be used to request new features on the wiki. Finally, Task Issues would be topics directed toward the Wiki Staff regarding anything from wiki setup to a intolerable user.
We're really excited to implement this new feature, and if you'd like to get a head-start you can head on over to the Wiki JIRA Project to get started and join us on IRC at #bukkitwiki!
