  • July 28, 2009: We are currently experimenting with a new "drop box" feature for electronic file (e.g., homework) collection. It is a new mediawiki extension that is being developed by Zach Mason. If you are logged in, you can click here to visit your personal dropbox. Click here to visit Zach's dropbox. We are interested in getting your feedback regarding this new feature. Please write it here.
  • July 15, 2009: We just deployed a new Rhea feature called "liaisons". Click here to learn more about the liaison feature. If you have feedback about liaisons, please write it here.)
  • july 15, 2009: We just installed a google powered search engine on the right. This enables you to search pages based on content. This new tool complements the old search tool (on the right-hand side of the black bar on top of the page), which allows you to search for page names and categories. I guess we will have to change the text on the buttons slightly to clear the confusion between the two types of searches.
  • July 14, 2009: The Math Department newsletter is talking about us (see p. 14 of this newsletter). To see the Rhea page about Leibniz's slowly converging series that is mentioned in the article, click here.
  • May, 2009: Zach updated the page printing tool. Now when you print a Rhea page, you should be able to see everything including equations. As always, feedback is appreciated. Please use this page to list issues.

  • January 12, 2009: Stephen Rudolph just installed a syntax highlighting extension. It's a great tool to display code and supports just about any language, including C and MATLAB. You can see an example here.

  • January 12, 2009: The content from the different databases used last semester has been merged into a single database for easier browsing and better scalability. Thanks to Ben Brame for writing the scripts and taking care of the merge!
  • November 6, 2008: Dennis Snell and Mike Walker created a new skin with Purdue's color scheme. It's been deployed on Prof. Boutin's ECE301 wiki and Prof. Bell's MA181 wiki. Your comments are welcome!
