==Autocompletion of place names==
The GeoNames server has had to change the url for name searches (see http://www.geonames.org/export/). You need to edit line 584 of autocomplete.php to read 'ws5.geonames.org' instead of 'ws.geonames.org'. It then works fine. Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but no doubt lots of people will have this problem. If you not confident with an editor, you can find an updated version [http://ftp.european-mammals.org/ here:]. Right-click on autocomplete.php and Save Link As.

==A New Look PGVWiki==

We have introduced a new look to PGVWiki as of today and few new features. The new look will be moved across the main topic areas to ensure some consistency on the front pages or main pages only. We are also (thanks to [[User:Nathan Watson-Haigh|Nathan]]) able to better list what needs to be done on PGVWiki with the use of the [[Template:Todo|todo template]]. A new menu item has been added under the community section - [[PGVWiki:Contributing to PGVWiki|PGVWiki To Do]]. You will find details about how and where to help us make PGVWiki a better and more complete resource - Many hands make light work.

We are also in the process of reviewing our guidelines so if you have a comment to make now is the time.
